1900s Carboniferous Limestone Limestone Gorge Rural Landscape Sightseeing Mendip Hills Solitary Figure
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cheddar Gorge MCF01_02_1307" takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a serene rural landscape in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset. The photograph showcases the magnificent limestone gorge of the Mendip Hills, known for its stunning natural beauty and rich geological history. In this particular shot, we see a solitary figure walking along the road that winds through Cheddar Gorge. This figure is none other than John MacFee, the photographer's father. His presence adds a personal touch to this already breathtaking scene. As we gaze at this image, we can't help but be struck by the sheer grandeur of nature surrounding Mr. MacFee. The towering cliffs made of carboniferous limestone create an awe-inspiring backdrop against which he walks with purpose and tranquility. The photograph evokes feelings of adventure and exploration as it transports us to a time when walking holidays were popular among those seeking solace in nature's embrace. It invites us to imagine ourselves strolling alongside Mr. MacFee on his journey through this picturesque landscape. Katherine MacFee has skillfully captured not only her father's likeness but also the essence of Cheddar Gorge itself – an enchanting place where rugged beauty meets peaceful solitude. This print serves as a testament to both her artistic talent and her deep connection with these surroundings. Through Historic England's preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness moments frozen in time like this one – reminders
