EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mike Hesketh-Roberts showcases the magnificent St Mawes Castle in Cornwall from a unique perspective. Taken from the south-west, the image offers a low view point that emphasizes the castle's grandeur and its harmonious integration with its natural surroundings. The castle stands proudly as a symbol of defence and fortification, dating back to Tudor times. Its sturdy stone walls are adorned with vibrant flowers and lush foliage, creating an enchanting contrast against the rugged landscape. This juxtaposition of delicate beauty against robust architecture is truly mesmerizing. As we gaze at this photograph, our eyes are drawn towards the vast expanse of sky above St Mawes Castle. The clear blue hues blend seamlessly with wisps of white clouds, adding depth and serenity to the scene. It evokes a sense of tranquility and invites us to imagine what stories these ancient walls have witnessed throughout history. Mike Hesketh-Roberts has skillfully captured not only the physical attributes but also the essence of this historic landmark. Through his lens, he transports us back in time while simultaneously reminding us of nature's ability to soften even the harshest structures. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity in constructing such formidable fortifications and Mother Nature's power to embellish them with her own artistic touch. It is an exquisite piece that celebrates heritage, beauty, and resilience all at once.
