Moody skies above Windmill Hill causewayed enclosure this morning. If you peer very hard you can just see Silbury Hill in the distance #BlowTheCobwebsAway #AveburyLandscape
Scudding clouds and sunlight above green fields and sheep, with the mound of Silbury Hill in the distance

Hot, hot, hot in the @nattrustarch.bsky.social Stonehenge Landscape this morning. Among the cooling shade of those trees (Luxenborough & Full Moon plantations) lie Bronze Age Barrow cemeteries

Not too shabby a view from my office window. Can never
look out of it without wondering who's buried under those mounds #NewKingBarrows #StonehengeLandscape @nattrustarch.bsky.social

A week ago today I was surrounded by the magnificence that is Karnak. It was our second visit - but you could spend half a lifetime exploring this amazing place #egyptology

It's a year ago since I fulfilled a lifelong ambition to visit the Bronze Age site of Akrotiri on Santorini. It's a truly extraordinary place. Buildings destroyed in a volcanic eruption c. 1600 BC still stand, some up to 3 storeys high, many with their contents. 🏺
Overview of part of the settlement at Akrotiri. In the foreground bottom left stone 'bull's horns' that originally stood above the doorway Building with storage area still containing many of the pithoi as they stood during the final eruption Large ceramic bath or tub Wooden beds, stacked ready to be retrieved following the initial eruption - their owners never had the opportunity to come back
