EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque scene along Cliff Road in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset. The image showcases a breathtaking rural landscape dominated by the towering limestone cliffs of the Mendip Hills. As our gaze follows the road climbing out of the gorge, we are drawn towards a figure walking alongside a charming pony and trap. The composition exudes tranquility and nostalgia, transporting us to an era when sightseeing was done at a leisurely pace. The figure's presence adds a human element to this idyllic setting, reminding us of simpler times when horse-drawn transportation was commonplace. Cheddar Gorge itself is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and geological significance. Formed over millions of years from carboniferous limestone, it stands as an impressive testament to Earth's ancient history. This photograph not only captures the allure of this unique landscape but also serves as a valuable historical record. Katherine MacFee's skillful lens perfectly encapsulates both the grandeur of nature and the charm of everyday life in early 20th-century England. Through her artistry, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the timeless beauty that has made Cheddar Gorge such an enduring attraction for generations past and present.
