Believed to date back to the 16th century, this ancient masterpiece has stood as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity for centuries. The Long Man of Wilmington is an impressive sight, standing tall at approximately 235 feet in length. The figure's outline is meticulously carved into the lush green landscape, creating a striking contrast against the surrounding scenery. Its simplicity and elegance are enhanced by its white coloration against the vibrant hues of nature.

As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when such monumental works were crafted without modern technology or machinery. It serves as a reminder that artistry knows no bounds and that even through simple means like chalk on earth, humanity can leave an indelible mark on history. Mike Dixon's expertly captured image allows us to admire both the craftsmanship behind this enduring symbol and the breathtaking landscape it calls home.
