EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Paul Highnam transports us to the enchanting ruins of Netley Abbey in Hampshire. As the evening sun sets, casting a mysterious darkness over the scene, our gaze is drawn towards the majestic East window. Through its intricate silhouette, we catch a glimpse of an ethereal orange glow that seems to emanate from within. Netley Abbey's rich history and architectural grandeur are beautifully captured in this image. The juxtaposition of light and shadow creates an atmosphere of both tranquility and intrigue. The ancient stones stand as silent witnesses to centuries gone by, inviting us to contemplate their secrets. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of this historic site, highlighting its unique beauty while preserving its solemnity. The play between light and dark evokes a sense of timelessness, reminding us that even in decay there is enduring grace. Highnam's composition invites us into a world where past meets present; where nature reclaims what was once man-made. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection with heritage sites like Netley Abbey - places that hold stories untold yet whisper them through every stone. In this photograph, we find ourselves captivated by the allure of history and inspired to explore further into our own narratives.
