There was a similar situation on the forum a while ago, perhaps that thread is helpful somehow
I would say a bronze age burial mound is a good place to explore. Itâs hard with pictures because it does look a bit like âjust a hillâ in photos but they arenât just hills, theyâre often very steep and alot smaller scale. They are marked on maps in the UK and are landmarks that people seek out for sure, so I would vote positively on this kind of place
It could be worth submitting on web and taking a screenshot of a hiking map that shows the location marked if possible - ordinance survey maps in the UK show these mounds for example.

I know itâs technically a grave and all, but these little hills are everywhere and mostly used as sledding hillsâŚ
Nice. I love these. I see heaps around the UK.
When I nominate. Whether portrait or landscape I always ensure the main part is a square. Think that postcard view in games. So centre the image. You can even take photo on camera edit to right size etc and use that. But I always ensure the supporting photo provides the scale and relevance of the object being nominated.
I would change my Title to say " The Four Pillars of Fire Burial Moundâ. OR âThe Asserhoj Bronze Age Burial Moundâ
Description.. A Nordic Bronze age burial mound with its own saga. At night, the Asser Mound stands on four pillars of fire and whoever is buried inside comes outside to take a breath. Local legends say to interfer with the mound is to bring bad luck. The Nordic Bronze age sits between the Stone and Iron age and lasted from between 1700BC to 500BC.
Then in Supporting. Great place to explore. History of Nordic Bronze age can be found here The Bronze Age and The people in the Bronze Age barrows((National Museum website is good resource)) Information on the saga of the Asserhøj Bronze Age Burial Mound can be found here Asserhøj - et folkesagn - Egedal Leksikon ; Supporting website and with map of area AND official listing is found here Lokalitet and the listing Museum was ROMU https://romu.dk
I note @xFISTx that you mentioned a walking trail ((this one Tur 4 â Ganløse Mosehøj â NaturPark MølleĂĽens Venner)) in an earlier post. Totally use this as well. But importantly tell the reviewer where to go on such a long page and say somehting like. See last paragraph section 49 at bottom of page where the Asserhøj burial mounds found at the entrance to Ganløse are referenced
=Something like that. Do not use my text. What I say does not mean it will get in. But I have found that effort in equals result out.
I note it is one of a grouping of three. Driving out of Ganlose on the 233. All three are on your left. And the two furtherst ones have an information plaque. Does this provide more information as the plaque is created by an official History Ministry. And as @salixsorbus says Make that photo work - time of day/ colour. It is spring so hopefully big blue skies and a bright spring green.
Good luck

Awww 'fanks 
There are 83K plus known mounds in Denmark. Some 20K from the Nordic Bronze Age. In my view - Local saga and history become so important. And that photo needs to kick. Have that and support it well - OK so that kinda goes for all nominations. But when a special grass mound looks a normal grass mound. You need to really pay attention.
I think
PS I use Nordic Bronze Age as that period does differ to others. Bronze Age timeframe across regions does differ and is important factual information to back up the nomination.

So here is my 3rd go:
Wayspot Submission for Asserhøj - A Burial Mound on Pillars of Fire
Ganløse HS
In Queue
2026-04-07
Description
Bronze age burial mound with its own folk legend: At night the mound stands on four pillars of fire and the one who is buried rises from the mound. The legend also says that if you try to remove the mound you will be pursued by bad luck. The Nordic Bronze Age (c. 1700-500 BC) was a dynamic period in southern Scandinavia characterized by the import of bronze..
Location
Asserhøj (Müløvvej), 3660 Stenløse, Danmark
Supplemental Information
Great place to explore. Nordic Bronze Age barrows are burial monuments that date back to the Nordic Bronze Age, approximately 1700 BC to 500 BC. These mounds were built as burial monuments for the elite of society and are a distinctive feature of the Danish and Nordic landscape, here you can read more about the Bronze Age: The people in the Bronze Age barrows . Note that there are several pictures attached, where you can see the conservation stone with a crown symbol, indicating that the mound is a protected ancient monument. You can also see that the bus stop is named after the mound and a public path that goes right past the mound. Here is a link that verifies the location: Artikel | Danmarks stednavne and here is a link to the folklore: http://egedalleksikon.dk/index.php/Asserhøj_-_et_folkesagn. This hiking route passes the mound (see point 49): Tur 4 â Ganløse Mosehøj â NaturPark MølleĂĽens Venner .
Is there something you think should be added/removed/changed?
I canât be sure which photos are the main photos and which ones are the supplementary photos. I donât want to assume, so canât provide any better comments until you can clarify.
The first two photos appear to be of completely different things, with the last two being of one mound, so you have got three different POI and only one description, which is very confusing.
I have translated the text now. And the top picture is the main photo. The 3 others are supplementary photos. The supplementary info describes what the stone is.
Thanks. I see it now.
You canât change the photos, so donât withdraw this, but I think your main photo is from too far away. There is simply too much grass in the foreground and the POI itself is a tiny portion of the picture.
You can show this is a mount (not just a hillock) with a photo like this:
There is also a problem with the first supporting image not showing the POI in its surroundings. For me, something like your main photo should be the first supporting image.
That post is very helpful. I would want a photo that sees whare that post is, showing it in relation to the mound. Currently, itâs visually divorced from everything else. It would also make a good nomination if you are struggling with the mound and can get a picture showing the crown, which I cannot see in your image.
Finally, I think the best main photo is one like I cropped above, but from the side with the path and with the path running up to the mound (about 1/3 in from the right or the left of the photo).
Something like this aspect for a main photo, which is taken from Streetview so obviously isnât a suitable photo to use.
Getting the photo now before the vegetation builds up would be helpful, as the plants stop it looking like a human construction, so that may be why you went for the other side of it.
I see your point about the too much grass in the foreground, I was going for a landscape photo (tried pano mode on my phone for the 1st time). Also wanted the tree in the photo.
The conservation stone is very worn and you can just make out the crown indentation IRL and even less on a picture. The sun is on the other side so it is covered in shade all day. Nevertheless i will switch up the pictures so they come in this order:
- main photo: More mound with path and possible tree. And less grass.
- 1st. supp. photo: a photo from far away, like the one used for main in this 3rd nomi.
- 2nd supp. photo: shows the conservation stone on the mound. (if not in main photo).
- 3rd supp. photo: shows the conservation stone up close.
It will be sunny out tomorrow, so I will go and take some more photos and share before making a re-submit.

There are going to personal preferences for the photo 
As so much of it will be grass anyway be prepared for an auto reject.
I like the tree in the photo gives sense of scale and nice contrast.
But definitely less of the foreground.
I think itâs a good idea to use all 5 images in the websubmit .
The bus stop is a good easy to spot feature so try to include that some of the pictures to get the location.

I am not clear what this is?
Oh that is this
Maybe point out where it is in the other support photos.

I would go as far as to circle it on a support photo if itâs not obvious I agree with Wooper on the choice of main.
Is there a screensbhot that explains the conservation post. That might work well plus the link in supplementary.
I like the supplementary photo showing the path to the mound.

Love this @xFISTx
Main photo to me should be square as much as possible. And the mound front and centre . Something like this. Note I just cut from images in this forum thread. So not really square ( :-))
or
Love the photos of the mound with the tree to the right. Very focused
As @elijustrying said. Photo with trail is briliant. Well supportive.
In supporting text. Call out each image and what it is. In supporting photos. First one shows x. Second shows Y. Third shows. Help your reviewer.
For supporting links. So for this one Tur 4 â Ganløse Mosehøj â NaturPark MølleĂĽens Venner tell people to scroll to bottom of page to section 49.. Help your reviewer
Same with Artikel | Danmarks stednavne where on this page is the information to your nomination. Cause I had to dig.
Loving this nomination and everyones input thanks for asking @xFISTx

I agree that the photos that look best on gifts or spinners are square. But with a nomination like this, worry about getting it accepted first, then you can add a photo that displays better later. I think this is one case of where a square photo may not convey as much context as the landscape one does.
