EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of Dunstanburgh Castle, located on the picturesque coast of Northumberland, England. Taken in 2006 by renowned photographer Ethel Davies, this image showcases the remains of the castle's keep dating back to the 14th century. Once a formidable fortification against Scottish invasions, Dunstanburgh Castle also played a crucial role as a stronghold during the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century. The castle's imposing exterior stands tall amidst rugged rocks and overlooks the vast expanse of sea, creating an awe-inspiring sight that transports viewers back in time. Davies' expertly composed horizontal shot perfectly captures both the grandeur and decay present within these ancient ruins. The juxtaposition between then and now is palpable; one can almost feel echoes of battles fought long ago reverberating through its weathered walls. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our rich heritage and invites contemplation about those who once walked these grounds centuries ago. It is not just an image frozen in time but rather a testament to resilience and endurance throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Ethel Davies, we are reminded to cherish our past while embracing our future. Let it inspire us to explore further into our own stories, uncovering hidden treasures waiting to be discovered along forgotten shores.
