EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Village Green MCF01_02_0639" transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Burton Bradstock in West Dorset, Dorset. The image beautifully captures a serene scene on the village green during the 1920s. In this snapshot, our eyes are immediately drawn to a charming lamp post standing tall amidst the lush surroundings. Adjacent to it is an exquisite Queen Victoria jubilee seat, inviting weary villagers and visitors alike to rest and admire their idyllic surroundings. A magnificent sycamore tree gracefully frames this quaint spot, its branches reaching towards the sky. As we delve deeper into this enchanting photograph, we notice a horse-drawn cart passing by in the background. This nostalgic mode of transportation adds an extra layer of authenticity and takes us back to simpler times when life moved at a slower pace. Peering beyond the village green, we catch glimpses of traditional houses lining Middle Street. These homes exude charm with their thatched roofs and rustic facades, providing a glimpse into daily life in this close-knit community. Katherine MacFee's expertly captured moment freezes time for us all to appreciate the beauty and tranquility found within small English villages like Burton Bradstock. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to reflect upon how much has changed while cherishing what remains timeless about these cherished places from yesteryears
