EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Source of the River Thames: A Tranquil Beginning" 2. In this evocative image from the 1980s, the humble beginnings of the River Thames unfold in a serene pastoral setting. The photograph, taken near Thames Head in the picturesque county of Oxfordshire, captures the essence of a bygone era. 3. The River Thames, the longest river in England, is depicted as it emerges from a small spring, meandering through the lush, green grass. The water, clear and unspoiled, flows gently, creating a calming ripple effect that adds to the tranquility of the scene. 4. Surrounding the river, the landscape is dotted with golden, ripe wheat fields, their tall stalks swaying gently in the breeze. A solitary scarecrow stands guard, its weathered features a testament to the passage of time and the changing seasons. 5. The scene is bathed in a soft, warm light, casting long, dappled shadows across the landscape. The sun peeks through the clouds, illuminating the scene with a golden glow. 6. This photograph, first published in The Sunday Times in 1989, offers a glimpse into the past, a reminder of the simple pleasures and natural beauty that can be found in the English countryside. It invites us to pause and reflect on the timeless connection between the land, the water, and the passage of life. 7. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving and cherishing the natural world, as well as the beauty and tranquility that can be found in the most unexpected places. Whether viewed as a work of art or a cherished memory, this photograph is a testament to the enduring power of nature to inspire and captivate us.
