EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Derek Kendall showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Church of St Merteriane in Tintagel, Cornwall. As the sun sets on this enchanting landscape, a sense of tranquility and reverence fills the air. The darkening sky is adorned with billowing clouds that add an ethereal touch to the scene. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the church itself, standing proudly amidst its ancient graveyard. Its stone walls exude a timeless charm, while its towering spire reaches towards heaven as if seeking divine guidance. This sacred place has witnessed countless generations come and go, leaving behind their stories etched in weathered tombstones. As dusk settles over the cemetery, a peaceful serenity envelops every corner. The fading light casts long shadows across rows of graves, reminding us of our own mortality and encouraging reflection upon life's fleeting nature. Yet within these hallowed grounds lies solace and hope - a testament to faith that transcends time. Derek Kendall's masterful composition captures not only the physical elements but also evokes emotions tied to spirituality and introspection. Through his lens, he invites viewers to contemplate their own beliefs while marveling at the harmonious coexistence between nature and religion. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even in darkness, there is always light; even amidst loss, there is still solace; and even when life fades away like twilight into nightfall, faith endures like an eternal flame within our hearts.
