EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial shot captures the haunting beauty of Lowther Castle, a once majestic country house now reduced to an enchanting ruin in Cumbria. Built as a sham castle, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to the grandeur and opulence of its bygone era. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the ethereal charm that emanates from this crumbling structure. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details of the castle's facade, showcasing its unique blend of Gothic and Tudor architectural styles. The remnants of towering turrets and weathered stone walls evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue, transporting us back in time to when this magnificent estate was alive with activity. The surrounding landscape adds another layer of allure to this already mesmerizing scene. Lush greenery stretches out towards rolling hills, creating a picturesque backdrop that enhances the melancholic beauty of Lowther Castle's decay. It is impossible not to be captivated by the juxtaposition between nature's resilience and man-made impermanence. In addition to capturing the essence of Lowther Castle itself, Emma Trevarthen's expertly composed photograph also highlights another significant feature - its stables. These structures stand resolute amidst their dilapidated surroundings; silent witnesses to centuries past. Through her lens, Trevarthen has immortalized both history and artistry within one frame. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even in ruinous states, there is still immense beauty waiting to be discovered if we take.
