EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Haresceugh Fell, a medieval dispersed settlement nestled in the picturesque region of Cumbria. Taken by talented photographer Dave MacLeod, this aerial shot showcases the remarkable historical significance of this site. At first glance, one is immediately drawn to the stone-walled enclosure that dominates the frame. This ancient structure is believed to have served as a dwelling for inhabitants centuries ago. Its weathered stones tell tales of a bygone era and offer glimpses into the lives led within its protective walls. Adjacent to the dwelling lies another stone-walled enclosure, which historians interpret as a stock enclosure. This area would have been used to house livestock and protect them from predators or harsh weather conditions. The juxtaposition of these two enclosures provides insight into how people lived and worked harmoniously with nature during medieval times. The aerial perspective adds an extra layer of intrigue to this photograph, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the architectural details but also the breathtaking surrounding landscape. Rolling hills stretch out endlessly beneath Haresceugh Fell, reminding us that history often unfolds amidst awe-inspiring natural beauty. Dave MacLeod's skillful composition invites us on a journey through time, transporting us back to an era when life was simpler yet filled with challenges and triumphs. It serves as a reminder that our present is built upon layers of rich heritage waiting patiently for exploration and appreciation.
