EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, captured by the talented Amy Wright, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Cherhill Down in Wiltshire. The image transports us to this historic landscape, where nature and human history intertwine seamlessly. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the prominent features that dominate the scene. Oldbury Camp, an ancient hillfort dating back thousands of years, stands proudly atop Cherhill Down. Its earthwork walls serve as a reminder of the area's rich archaeological heritage and its significance in ancient times. Adjacent to Oldbury Camp is the iconic Lansdowne Monument; an impressive obelisk that pierces through the sky with grandeur. This commemorative monument pays homage to Sir William Petty, a renowned economist and philosopher who made significant contributions during his lifetime. Adding further intrigue to this already mesmerizing composition is the Cherhill White Horse - a magnificent hill figure etched into the lush greenery below. This age-old symbol has stood as a testament to local pride for centuries and continues to captivate visitors with its sheer size and intricate design. Amy Wright's skillful capture not only highlights these remarkable landmarks but also emphasizes their harmonious coexistence within this picturesque setting. It serves as a visual reminder of how past generations have shaped our present landscapes while inviting us on an exploration of history right from above. Through her lens, we are transported on an enchanting journey through time – one that invites contemplation about our connection with both nature and humanity's enduring legacy in shaping our surroundings.
