EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Bowes Castle, a remarkable medieval ruin located in Durham. Standing proudly on the site of a Roman fort, this 12th-century keep was strategically built to guard the Stainmore Pass over the Pennines. The image beautifully captures the essence of this historical gem, highlighting its significance as both a defence and fortification. The castle's imposing structure is reminiscent of an era long gone, evoking a sense of awe and wonderment. Its weathered stone walls tell tales of battles fought and victories won, transporting us back to a time when knights roamed these grounds. Alun Bull's expert photography skills have truly brought out the character and charm of Bowes Castle. The play between light and shadow adds depth to every nook and cranny, emphasizing its rich history etched into each stone. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded that history is not just confined within books but can be experienced through tangible remnants like Bowes Castle. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout different epochs - from its Roman origins to Henry II's reign. Let this photograph transport you back in time as you appreciate the beauty in decay and marvel at how structures like these continue to stand tall against all odds.
