EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of Richmond Castle, located on Tower Street in the picturesque town of Richmondshire, North Yorkshire. The photograph focuses on a minute yet captivating detail - a niche or blocked lancet window nestled within the castle's ancient walls. As if frozen in time, this medieval stonework tells tales of battles fought and lives lived within these historic grounds. The image showcases the intricate craftsmanship that went into constructing this magnificent fortress. The weathered stone bears witness to centuries of wear and tear, adding character to its rugged facade. Through the blocked window, one can only imagine the views it once offered; perhaps archers stood here with their arrows at hand, guarding against any potential threats. Alun Bull's keen eye for capturing architectural beauty is evident in this print. His composition draws attention to every nook and cranny of this alcove-like structure, highlighting its importance as part of England's rich heritage. This photograph serves as a reminder that history is not just found in grand gestures but also resides within small details such as these hidden windows. As we gaze upon "This way up DP233749" we are transported back through time to an era where castles were more than mere structures; they were symbols of power and protection. It invites us to explore further into Richmond Castle's intriguing past while appreciating the artistry embedded within its very walls.
