The Rigway

West Berkshire, famous for the open expanse of the high chalk Berkshire Downs, provides invigorating walking with freedom, space and wide vistas. The Ridgeway National Trail, an ancient path dating back to Iron Age times, provides a good route from which to explore the Downs and their fascinating history. Notable sites include the Iron Age hill fort at Segsbury Camp, remains of the mysterious Grimm’s Ditch and the burial mound of Scutchamer Knob as well as Bronze Age barrows and Roman field systems. Lambourn, home to some of England's finest thoroughbred horses, is a good base from which to visit many of these pre-historic sites, including The Seven Barrows just to the north. You can follow the Ridgeway east across North Berkshire via East Ilsley, Compton, Aldworth and Streatley, following in the footsteps of Neolithic ramblers.

Thanks
Gil

Hi!
Very nice view over a fascinating mosaic of a landscape.
I like the warm colors and the composition.
You`re breaking the "rule" of 2/3, but here its certainly no problem because of the nice cumulus-cloud.

Killer shot Gil. It looks like a painting. The shadows of the clouds give extra depth.

Beautiful scenery, a marvel,
I like vision like this aerial, because you can see the earth in different colors and divisions.
Beautiful visual and the clouds are fearful.

Hi Gil,

Ah this is a stunning view. I'd trade places with you any days! So green, so low... everything is just... 'picture perfect' in this landscape. I read a little paperback last summer, and it actually mentioned Lambourn for it's horses. :) Nice to see it in real life context.

Again, this is a splendid image, very well taken, TFS!

Biance.

Hi Gil ,
Beautiful landscape nicely composed with great colors and sharpness, Excellent Point of view and very well done..
