EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the majestic White Sheet Castle, nestled amidst the picturesque countryside near Mere, Wiltshire. The ancient Iron Age hill fort stands proudly on White Sheet Hill, with its single rampart overlooking the breathtaking escarpment. However, what truly sets this fortress apart are the three formidable ramparts that guard the approach across the hillside. The print by Damian Grady offers a unique perspective of this historic earthwork, showcasing its grandeur and strategic location. As you gaze upon it, you can't help but be transported back in time to an era when these forts played a crucial role in protecting their inhabitants. To complement this remarkable sight, on the left side of the hillfort lie three covered reservoirs. These structures add an intriguing element to an already fascinating landscape and serve as a reminder of how civilizations throughout history have harnessed natural resources for survival. Damian Grady's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels created by our ancestors but also highlights nature's beauty surrounding them. This photograph is more than just a visual treat; it serves as a testament to our rich heritage and reminds us of our connection to those who came before us.
