EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the enigmatic beauty of Thornborough Henges, a trio of ancient henge monuments nestled in the picturesque Thornborough Moor of North Yorkshire. Dating back to the Neolithic and early Bronze Age periods, these remarkable earthworks stand as a testament to our ancestors' ingenuity and reverence for the land. Aligned in perfect symmetry along an invisible axis, these three almost identical henges create an awe-inspiring sight from above. The circular enclosures are meticulously constructed using earthen banks and ditches, showcasing the mastery of prehistoric engineering techniques. Each henge is adorned with mysterious standing stones that have witnessed countless generations pass by over thousands of years. As we gaze upon this print captured by Damian Grady, we are transported back in time to an era when rituals and ceremonies unfolded within these sacred spaces. It is impossible not to be filled with wonder at how such monumental structures were conceived and erected without modern tools or machinery. Thornborough Henges continue to intrigue archaeologists and historians alike, offering valuable insights into our ancient past. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst our fast-paced world, remnants of our ancestors' legacy endure, inviting us to explore their mysteries while respecting their historical significance.
