EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing walkway stairs at Tintagel Castle, located in Cornwall. The image showcases a distant view of visitors gracefully ascending the stone steps that wind along the rugged cliffside. With its dramatic backdrop of towering cliffs and crashing waves below, this iconic landmark exudes an air of mystery and enchantment. The composition beautifully highlights the architectural marvels of Tintagel Castle, as well as the natural beauty that surrounds it. The intricate stonework of the staircase stands out against the weathered rocks, creating a striking contrast between man-made structure and untamed nature. As we observe these brave adventurers making their way up to explore this historic site, one can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. Each step taken on this ancient stairway is like stepping back in time, immersing oneself in centuries-old tales and legends associated with King Arthur's mythical kingdom. Paul Highnam's skillful photography not only captures a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions within us - curiosity about what lies beyond those stairs, admiration for human ingenuity in constructing such pathways amidst challenging terrain, and gratitude for being able to witness history come alive through our own eyes. This print serves as a reminder that some places are more than just tourist attractions; they are gateways to another era where stories intertwine with reality.
