EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us to the enchanting world of Stokesay Castle in Shropshire, blanketed in a pristine layer of snow. As winter's icy grip tightens its hold, the medieval castle stands resolute amidst the serene beauty of its surroundings. The image captures a breathtaking view across the snow-covered graveyard, where time seems to stand still. The delicate white flakes delicately dust each tombstone and accentuate the solemnity of this final resting place. It is as if nature herself has paid homage to those who have come before. In this wintry scene, our gaze is drawn towards the imposing Gatehouse that proudly guards the entrance to Stokesay Castle. Its weathered stone walls bear witness to centuries gone by and whisper tales of knights and noble lords who once traversed these grounds. Flanking either side are the South and North Towers, rising majestically against an azure sky tinged with gray clouds. These towers serve as sentinels over a landscape transformed into a winter wonderland – their presence evoking both awe and reverence for this architectural masterpiece. As we immerse ourselves in this photograph, we can almost feel the chill in our bones and hear the crunching sound beneath our feet as we explore every nook and cranny of this historic site. It serves as a reminder that even amidst coldness and solitude, there is enduring beauty waiting to be discovered. James O. Davies' masterful composition allows us to experience Stokesay Castle's timeless allure through his lens - capturing not only its physical grandeur but also encapsulating its spirit within each delicate snowflake that graces his frame.
