EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Cherhill White Horse, a remarkable chalk figure dating back to the late 18th century in Wiltshire, England. Created by artist CM Dixon during the 20th century, this geoglyph is an impressive visual representation carved into the hillside, revealing layers of underlying geology. Unlike many other figures believed to be ancient but later proven relatively recent through modern archaeological analysis, this horse has stood the test of time. The image captures the majestic white horse against a backdrop of picturesque countryside and rustic rural life. Its vibrant color contrasts with the natural landscape, making it an unusual and eye-catching sight. The Cherhill White Horse was designed to be seen from afar rather than above, adding to its enigmatic charm. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of both artistry and science coming together harmoniously. It represents not only a stunning piece of landscape art but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history. This historic landmark stands as a symbol of cultural heritage and offers us insight into our ancestors' connection with their surroundings. With every detail meticulously captured by CM Dixon's lens, we can appreciate both the beauty of nature and mankind's ability to leave lasting imprints on our environment for generations to come.
