EDITORS COMMENTS
"Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Somerset, England, Farleigh Castle stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Dating back to the 14th century, this historic castle was begun in the 1370s by Sir Thomas Hungerford, a wealthy and influential figure during the reign of King Richard II. The castle, which was later extended in the 15th century by the Earl of Argyll, Walter Howard, is a fine example of medieval architecture and military engineering. In this photograph, the castle's grandeur is on full display as it towers over the rolling hills and lush greenery. The castle's walls, made of pale, golden stone, seem to glow in the sunlight, while the moat surrounding it adds an air of mystery and intrigue. The castle's towers and battlements, which were once used to defend against invading forces, now stand as a testament to the rich history of England's past. As we gaze upon this magnificent structure, we can almost hear the sounds of clanking armor and the shouts of soldiers drilling on the castle grounds. We can imagine the castle's inhabitants, both noble and common, going about their daily lives within its walls. And as we look closer, we notice a modern-day addition to the scene - a cyclist and his companion, pedaling an extended tandem bicycle along the castle's approach road. This unexpected juxtaposition of old and new, history and modernity, adds an intriguing layer to the photograph and serves as a reminder that the past is never truly gone, but rather a part of the ever-evolving present." This photograph, taken in the present day, invites us to explore the rich history of Farleigh Castle and to reflect on the passage of time. It is a reminder that even as the world around us changes, there are still places that remain deeply rooted in the past, waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
