EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print by Damian Grady showcases the enchanting Ashdown House, nestled in the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside. The image captures not only the grandeur of this historic country house but also intriguing parchmarks that hint at wartime structures and features within its grounds. Ashdown House stands as a testament to timeless elegance, with its stunning architecture and beautifully manicured formal gardens. Its rich history is palpable, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an age of opulence and refinement. However, it is the mysterious parchmarks that truly pique our curiosity. These faint imprints on the land suggest hidden stories waiting to be unraveled; perhaps remnants of structures used during times of conflict or secret wartime operations. They serve as reminders that even amidst beauty and tranquility, echoes from our past can still be found. Damian Grady's masterful composition allows us to appreciate both the grand scale of Ashdown House and its surrounding landscape park. The aerial perspective offers a unique vantage point, revealing how seamlessly nature intertwines with man-made splendor. As we contemplate this remarkable image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
