Artist's Comments

This mighty wall ran across the whole width of Britain, from Wallsend (Newcastle-upon-Tyne) in the east to Bowness-on-Solway in the west.. The wall was originally 15feet high with 6 foot battlements on top of that. It was begun in about 120 A.D. on the orders of the Emperor Hadrian, and was manned until it was abandoned in 383.

Gorgeous. I love how the wall turns as it goes down the field....it creates nice shadows. Well done!

What a gorgeous piece of scenery....captured fabulously!

Thanks so much for the history you include....makes me wonder just how much work, how many people it took to build this wall and how long it took to build it.

Wow, I think this is the best shot of the wall I've seen. You really found a great place to capture the sheer scale of the wall. I really love the sense of depth you get as the wall trails away into the distance. The hills almost look like they are sahara dunes that have started to grow grass.

Oh my goodness, I'm so glad you posted this up. I've never thought that part of the walls were still visible. I've always read about Hadrian's wall in almost all of my history classes, it's really exciting to actually see how it really looks.

Thank you very much for sharing. =D
