EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Cole transports us back in time to the hauntingly beautiful Wharram Percy Deserted Medieval Village in North Yorkshire. The image captures a mesmerizing view of the Church of St Martin, standing proudly amidst an ancient graveyard. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the rich history and stories that lie within these ruins. The dilapidated state of the church serves as a poignant reminder of its medieval origins, evoking a sense of mystery and wonder. Time has weathered its stone walls and worn away intricate details, yet it still stands tall against the test of time. The surrounding cemetery adds an air of solemnity to the composition, with gravestones bearing witness to centuries gone by. Steve Cole's masterful photography skillfully captures both the grandeur and melancholy essence of this abandoned village. Through his lens, we can almost hear whispers from long ago echoing through these forgotten streets. It is as if he has frozen a moment in time for us to explore and contemplate. This print invites us on a journey into history, prompting reflection on our own fleeting existence compared to the enduring presence of these ancient structures. It reminds us that even in abandonment, there is beauty waiting to be discovered – beauty that speaks volumes about our shared human experience across generations.
