EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Portland Castle in Dorset, standing proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The focus of this image lies on the cannons positioned strategically on the gun platform, ready to defend this historic fortification. These formidable weapons serve as a powerful reminder of the castle's rich history and its role as a vital defense stronghold. Dating back to Tudor times, Portland Castle has witnessed centuries of battles and conflicts. Its robust walls have withstood countless sieges, making it an enduring symbol of strength and resilience. The cannons depicted here are not mere decorative artifacts but tangible evidence of the castle's military significance. The artist, Derek Kendall, skillfully captures both the grandeur and intricacy of these ancient weapons. Each cannon is meticulously detailed - from their imposing barrels to their intricate mechanisms - showcasing their craftsmanship and power. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can't help but feel transported back in time; imagining soldiers manning these cannons during intense battles or witnessing naval vessels approaching from afar.
