EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Lindisfarne: A Tide Haven Offering Shelter to the Stranded" 2. Description: This evocative image captures the essence of Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island, located off the Northumberland coast in England. The tidal island, renowned for its historical significance and natural beauty, is seen here as a beacon of safety during a treacherous tide. 3. Scene: The photograph was taken in 2014, showcasing the causeway leading to the island engulfed by the encroaching North Sea. The tide, which is known to cut off the island twice a day, has flooded the road, leaving a group of people stranded on the mainland. 4. History: Lindisfarne, a place of pilgrimage since the 7th century, is home to several historical sites, including the ruins of Lindisfarne Priory and the castle. The island's rich history is closely intertwined with that of St. Cuthbert, the patron saint of Northumbria, who is said to have lived as a hermit on the island. 5. Shelter: As the tide rises, the causeway becomes impassable, and the only means of reaching the island is by boat. In this moment, the island offers a unique kind of shelter to the stranded visitors, who must wait for the tide to recede before making their way across. 6. Safety: The image serves as a reminder of the power and unpredictability of the North Sea and the importance of respecting its might. It also highlights the camaraderie and resilience of those who choose to venture to this beautiful yet challenging location. 7. Conclusion: This photograph of Lindisfarne, a tide haven offering shelter to people cut off by the tide, encapsulates the raw beauty and inherent risks of the Northumberland coast. It is a poignant reminder of the natural world's power and the importance of safety and patience when exploring its wonders.
