EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Kegon-No-Taki, 1910" was taken by the talented Herbert Ponting. Featured in his book "In Lotus-Land Japan" this image captures the beauty of Kegon Falls in Nikko, Tochigi prefecture. The photograph showcases a magnificent cataract plunging into the river below, creating a mesmerizing sight for all who behold it. In this early 20th-century portrait, an elderly Japanese man can be seen standing at the edge of the falls, leaning on his walking stick as he takes in the breathtaking view. His presence adds a sense of scale to the grandeur of nature surrounding him. The monochrome composition enhances both the power and tranquility of this natural phenomena. Ponting's skillful use of contrast and lighting brings out every detail in this scene - from the rushing water to each individual droplet that glistens under sunlight. This evocative photograph transports viewers to another time and place, inviting them to immerse themselves in Japan's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are reminded not only of Ponting's artistic prowess but also our own desire for exploration and adventure. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst modernity, there is still great value in appreciating and preserving our natural wonders around us.
