EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a young man boldly leaps along the ancient stepping stones of the River Ewenny at Ogmore Castle, located in the quaint seaside town of Ogmore-by-Sea in South Wales. The man, dressed in wellington boots, skillfully bounds from one stone to the next, his dry feet defying the chilly water below. The ruins of Ogmore Castle, a 13th-century fortress, serve as a picturesque backdrop to this scene, their crumbling walls and towers standing as silent witnesses to the passage of time. The River Ewenny, a tributary that flows into the Bristol Channel, adds an element of tranquility and serenity to the image. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the water and creating a sense of calm and peace. The young man's carefree leap across the stones is a reminder of the simple pleasures that can be found in nature, and the enduring beauty of the natural world. Ogmore Castle, which dates back to the late 12th century, is a popular tourist destination in Glamorgan, South Wales. The castle, which was once the seat of the powerful Norman lords of Glamorgan, has been the site of many legends and tales throughout history. Today, visitors can explore the ruins and imagine the stories that unfolded within its walls. This photograph, taken in 1988, captures the essence of a moment in time, a moment of joy and connection with nature, and a reminder of the rich history and beauty that can be found in the smallest of places.
