EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bob Skingle showcases the enchanting Rievaulx Abbey, nestled in the picturesque North Yorkshire countryside. The image transports us to a time long gone, where medieval ruins stand as a testament to centuries of history and devotion. In this particular shot, we are treated to a breathtaking view of the sensory garden that surrounds the abbey. Vibrant flowers burst forth from meticulously manicured beds, creating an explosion of color against the backdrop of ancient stone walls. It is as if nature itself has embraced this sacred space, breathing life into its gothic architecture. The abbey's towering presence looms majestically in the background, evoking a sense of reverence and awe. Its weathered facade whispers tales of religious fervor and spiritual contemplation that once filled these hallowed grounds. This photograph captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys an intangible atmosphere steeped in faith and tranquility. Bob Skingle's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the intricate details found within each flower petal and every crumbling stone block. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness how religion intertwined with nature through carefully cultivated gardens like this one. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst ruin and decay, there is still immense beauty waiting to be discovered – whether it be within historic structures or flourishing gardens such as this one at Rievaulx Abbey.
