The Giant of Cerne Abbas is located in Dorset England.  This photo was taken by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, a photographer who takes photos from the air.  He has created a traveling exhibition called, Earth From The Air, which displays many of his photos.

From Wikipedia:

The Cerne Abbas giant is a hill figure of a giant naked man on a hillside near the village of Cerne Abbas to the north of Dorchester in Dorset, England. The 180 feet (55 metres) high, 167 feet (51 metres) wide figure is carved into the side of a steep hill and is best viewed from the opposite side of the valley or from the air. The carving is formed by a trench 1 foot (0.3 metre) wide and about the same depth which has been cut through the grass and earth into the underlying chalk. In his right hand the giant holds an enormous knobbed club 120 feet (36.5 metres) long.
