EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, captured by the talented Damian Grady, showcases a poignant moment in Tewkesbury's history. The image depicts the iconic Tewkesbury Abbey standing resolute amidst a sea of floodwater from the mighty River Avon. Taken in 2018, this snapshot serves as a reminder of the town's battle with nature and its enduring spirit. The abbey, an architectural masterpiece dating back to the 12th century, stands tall and proud despite being surrounded by water. Its imposing presence against the backdrop of flooding creates a striking contrast that evokes both awe and concern for the environment. This print not only captures a specific event but also highlights broader issues surrounding climate change and its impact on our towns and cities. It prompts us to reflect upon how vulnerable our cherished historical sites are to natural disasters like flooding. Damian Grady's skillful composition allows viewers to appreciate both the grandeur of Tewkesbury Abbey and the extent of its surroundings submerged under water. As we gaze at this remarkable image, we cannot help but marvel at humanity's ability to endure even in challenging circumstances. In essence, this photograph is more than just an artistic depiction; it is a visual testament to resilience – both that of Tewkesbury Abbey itself and that of communities facing environmental challenges worldwide.
