The White Horse Of Uffington

[poliphilo]

The thing is you just can't see it- not from close up, not from far away. All you can ever see is parts of the whole. Unless, of course, you have wings.

Evidently it was meant for the eyes of the gods.



This is the horse's head, upside down. The round spot is the eye.  The valley curving away from the foot of the Down is known as The Manger.

We don't have that good a record. 17th and 18th century farmers used to use gunpowder and sledgehammers on stone circles.
