EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of the Warrior Barrows, located in Blewbury Down, Oxfordshire. These two Bronze Age bell barrow earthworks stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. Dating back thousands of years, these prehistoric burial mounds hold stories untold and secrets yet to be discovered. The carefully constructed bell-shaped structures rise majestically from the surrounding landscape, their ancient origins shrouded in time's embrace. Photographer Damian Grady has expertly captured the essence of these remarkable earthworks. From this unique vantage point above, we are granted an awe-inspiring view that showcases both their scale and intricate design. The contrasting textures between the lush greenery and weathered soil create a visually striking composition that is both hauntingly beautiful and thought-provoking. As we gaze upon this image, our minds wander back through centuries past when these barrows were erected as final resting places for revered individuals. We cannot help but marvel at the ingenuity and craftsmanship displayed by our ancestors who meticulously shaped these earthen monuments with nothing more than primitive tools. The Warrior Barrows serve as a poignant reminder of our shared human history - a testament to those who came before us and left behind tangible reminders of their existence. This photograph invites us to contemplate our place within this vast timeline while igniting curiosity about what other wonders lie hidden beneath the surface of time itself.
