Cherhill Whitehorse, Wiltshire
| "Wiltshire has 11 white horses carved
into the escarpment of the chalk downland and this one, situated
on Cherhill Down between the towns of Calne and Marlborough, is
a prominent feature for miles around. It is carved just below ancient
earthworks known as Oldbury Castle. On this occasion the farmer
had planted rapeseed which makes for a great foreground so I turned
up for several evenings and captured many successful images. On
the last of my visits a frontal system came across to give a dramatic
sky and the picture was shot when only a little of the blue sky
remained above the chalk. Yet another example of persistence paying
off to produce a striking image." |
