EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Church in Mere, a small village situated near Gillingham in Wiltshire, England, during a thunderstorm on May 13, 1906. The image, taken at 9:40pm, depicts the ancient stone church standing proudly against the ominous backdrop of the stormy sky. The church, with its distinctive bell tower and intricate architectural details, is illuminated by the frequent flashes of lightning, creating a dramatic and otherworldly scene. The village of Mere, nestled in the rolling hills of Wiltshire, has a rich history that dates back to the Roman era. The church itself, dedicated to St. Andrew, is believed to have been built in the 12th century, making it a cherished and significant landmark in the community. Despite the ominous weather, the church continues to stand as a symbol of resilience and strength, a testament to the enduring spirit of the people of Mere. The photograph, with its stunning depiction of the church during the thunderstorm, offers a glimpse into the past and the natural beauty of the English countryside. This historical photograph, taken over a century ago, is a reminder of the power and majesty of nature and the enduring presence of the past in our present. It invites us to reflect on the history and traditions that shape our communities and the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world around us.
