EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Tewkesbury flooded" captures a mesmerizing scene that tells a story of resilience and the power of nature. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2018, this print showcases the historic town and abbey of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, surrounded by floodwater from the mighty River Avon and River Severn. The image is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply thought-provoking. The viewer is immediately drawn to the magnificent Tewkesbury Abbey standing tall amidst the vast expanse of water. Its ancient architecture seems to defy the surrounding chaos, symbolizing strength in times of adversity. As our eyes wander beyond the abbey's grandeur, we witness an entire town grappling with nature's forces. Buildings peek out from beneath murky waters as if submerged in a surreal underwater world. This visual juxtaposition between man-made structures and untamed elements highlights our delicate relationship with the environment. In this single frame frozen in time, Damian Grady captures not only a devastating event but also raises awareness about climate change and its impact on vulnerable communities like Tewkesbury. It serves as a reminder that we must respect and protect our natural surroundings for future generations. This print from Historic England invites us to reflect upon humanity's ability to adapt while urging us to take action towards safeguarding our planet against such catastrophic events.
