EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic aftermath of a devastating flood that struck York on September 27th, 2012. The image showcases the iconic Cliffords Tower, standing tall amidst the chaos caused by the rising river levels. Taken from an aerial perspective at half past one in the afternoon, it offers a unique view of this historic castle and its surroundings. The sheer power and scale of nature's force is evident as murky floodwaters engulf parts of the city below. The once tranquil River Ouse has swelled beyond its banks, leaving behind a trail of destruction in its wake. Yet amid this turmoil, Cliffords Tower remains resilient atop its motte - a symbol of strength against adversity. Dave MacLeod's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of this medieval fortress and the magnitude of devastation caused by flooding. It serves as a reminder that even structures with centuries-old stories are not immune to nature's wrath. This photograph from Historic England transports us back to that fateful day when York faced one of its greatest challenges. It invites contemplation on our relationship with water and how we must adapt to coexist harmoniously with such powerful natural forces.
