Dusk at The Clumps. The moment you feel the temperature fall away.

The sheer nerve of @annadillon.bsky.social to make such a familiar landmark this irresistible. Her viewpoint from Ivinghoe Beacon (at the end of The Ridgeway, looking toward the Whipsnade Lion) has never looked so captivating. Honestly, she leaves us breathless at every climb.

The sounds of a hillfort in its day; the hammering of smiths, livestock, the beating of skin drums, humans shouting and laughing and the crackling of fires. This is the 26 acre Fosbury Camp hillfort, established during the Iron Age. #Hillfort #Wiltshire

The ruined and deserted site of the earliest settlement of Salisbury, old Sarum, with the powerful backdrop of Salisbury Cathedral keeping eternal watch. I took this as the book cover for "Tales of Two Cities" by @AlexJLanglands, link here: amazon.co.uk/Tales-Two-Citi…

Wayland's Smithy, looking due West. I am looking forward to re-shooting this once the leaves have all gone.

Super picture, Mark.

The eastern entrance (common to IA hillforts I believe) of Old Winchester Hill above the South Downs Way in Hampshire. Certainly a place that I wish to spend more time in the future.

Old Winchester Hill, looking east towards Butser Hill and the Meon Valley. The Bronze Age barrows stand out beautifully in the foreground — the colours of the surrounding fields were stunning today. 🌾🍂 #SouthDowns #Hampshire #LandscapePhotography

This little chap is bobbing around in front of me whilst I enjoy lunch and music on Old Winchester Hill.
