EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph by Damian Grady showcases the transformation of Long Newnton Airfield in Gloucestershire. Once a bustling RAF airfield, it now stands as a symbol of progress and sustainability with its conversion into a solar farm. The image captures the immense power and beauty of renewable energy generation. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, our eyes are drawn to the vast expanse of solar panels that cover what was once an active runway. These sleek, reflective surfaces harness the sun's rays, converting them into clean electricity for the surrounding area. It is a testament to mankind's ability to adapt and utilize nature's resources in an environmentally conscious manner. The juxtaposition between past and present is evident in every detail of this photograph. The remnants of old hangars and runways serve as reminders of the airfield's rich history while harmoniously coexisting with rows upon rows of photovoltaic cells that signify progress towards a greener future. Damian Grady has masterfully captured not only the physical transformation but also the essence of this site. The image radiates hope, reminding us that even abandoned spaces can be repurposed for positive change. It serves as both an inspiration and a call to action - urging us all to embrace renewable energy sources for a sustainable tomorrow. In sum, this remarkable print encapsulates Long Newnton Airfield's evolution from military base to solar farm; it celebrates our capacity for innovation while highlighting our responsibility towards preserving our planet through renewable means.
