| 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. |
