EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Avebury and Silbury Hill, two remarkable Neolithic monuments nestled in the picturesque landscape of Wiltshire. The image showcases the intricate details and sheer magnitude of these ancient wonders, transporting us back thousands of years to a time when our ancestors roamed these lands. Silbury Hill, an awe-inspiring monumental mound rising majestically from the earth, dominates the foreground. Its enigmatic purpose still baffles archaeologists today, leaving us to marvel at its construction and significance within this sacred landscape. As we gaze upon it from above, we can't help but feel a sense of wonder and admiration for those who labored tirelessly to create such an enduring symbol. In contrast, Avebury's henge and enclosure lie peacefully in the background amidst lush water meadows. These circular earthworks enclose a rich tapestry of history that dates back over 4,500 years. They stand as testament to human ingenuity and spiritual devotion during a time when communities flourished in harmony with nature. Damian Grady's expertly captured photograph not only celebrates these Neolithic treasures but also invites us to reflect on our own place within history. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced modern world, there are remnants of ancient civilizations waiting patiently for us to discover their secrets - reminding us that we are part of an unbroken chain stretching back through time itself.
