EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph taken by David Went showcases the mesmerizing beauty and intriguing juxtapositions found at Teesmouth, County Durham. As the River Tees gracefully merges with the vast expanse of the North Sea, a stunning panorama unfolds before our eyes. The Seal Sands National Nature Reserve stands as a testament to nature's resilience amidst industrial surroundings, harmoniously coexisting with petro-chemical works and deep-sea port facilities. In this snapshot frozen in time from August 2017, we witness a container ship gallantly navigating its way into the river's mouth. Its imposing presence against the serene backdrop serves as a reminder of mankind's constant quest for progress and connectivity. The distant silhouette of Middlesbrough adds depth to this composition, hinting at urban life bustling beyond these tranquil waters. This image encapsulates both natural splendor and human ingenuity seamlessly intertwined in one frame. David Went masterfully captures this scene from above, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail that would otherwise go unnoticed. From the delicate ripples on the water's surface to the vibrant hues of green along the coast, each element contributes to an awe-inspiring visual symphony. Through his lens, we are transported into a world where land meets sea, industry converges with nature, and past embraces present. This photograph is not merely an image; it is an invitation to explore history through artistry – an invitation extended by Historic England itself.
