EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of Lindisfarne Priory, a place steeped in history and spirituality. Ethel Davies, the talented creator behind this image, has captured the essence of this 12th-century ruin located on Holy Island in Northumberland, England. Originally settled by Irish monks in 635 to honor St Cuthbert, Lindisfarne Priory holds immense religious significance. The photograph beautifully portrays the remains of this once-thriving monastery, with its red stone walls standing tall against the test of time. The horizontal composition allows viewers to fully appreciate the architectural details and grandeur of this historic site. It transports us back to an era when monks dedicated their lives to prayer and contemplation within these very walls. Davies' skillful lens work not only captures the exterior beauty but also evokes a sense of reverence for what was once a bustling center for spiritual devotion. This image serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst ruins, there is still profound beauty and historical significance waiting to be discovered. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us and their enduring legacy. Lindisfarne Priory stands as a testament to human resilience and faith throughout centuries—a sacred place where past meets present in perfect harmony.
