EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the historic Garrison Walls in St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. The intricate network of fortifications stands as a testament to the island's rich history and strategic significance. Built during the Georgian era, these walls served as a crucial defense system against potential invaders. The photograph showcases Morning Point Battery, one of the key features within this formidable structure. Its imposing presence is strikingly evident from above, with its well-preserved architecture and commanding position overlooking the surrounding landscape. Damian Grady's expert composition beautifully highlights both the grandeur and intricacy of this historical site. The contrasting textures and patterns created by the stone walls are accentuated by natural light, adding depth to an already visually stunning scene. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era when these walls were alive with activity – soldiers patrolling their posts, cannons ready for action. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' dedication to protecting their land and people. Today, these Garrison Walls stand not only as a symbol of strength but also as a cherished piece of heritage that connects us to our past. They offer visitors an opportunity to explore centuries-old fortifications while immersing themselves in breathtaking scenery. Damian Grady's print allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical importance encapsulated within St Mary's Garrison Walls—a true treasure worth preserving for generations to come.
