EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph showcases the stunning BFG Maze, located within the picturesque Winstow Maize Maze in Leicestershire. In 2016, this intricate agricultural masterpiece was specially designed to commemorate the centenary of Roald Dahl's birth, incorporating the iconic outline of his beloved character, the Big Friendly Giant (BFG). Damian Grady skillfully captures this enchanting scene from above, offering a unique perspective on this rural gem. The maze itself is an awe-inspiring feat of creativity and precision. The carefully carved pathways wind through towering walls of maize, forming an elaborate labyrinth that beckons adventurers young and old to explore its mysteries. From high above, one can truly appreciate the sheer scale and complexity of this remarkable creation. As we gaze upon this image, our imaginations are instantly transported into Dahl's fantastical world. We can almost envision ourselves wandering through those narrow passages, eagerly searching for hidden treasures or encountering whimsical characters along the way. Beyond its playful tribute to a literary legend, this photograph also serves as a testament to England's rich agricultural heritage. It reminds us of our deep connection with nature and how humans have shaped landscapes for centuries. Damian Grady's expert lens has captured not just an aerial view but also a sense of wonderment that emanates from every corner of this extraordinary BFG Maze. This print is more than just a piece of art; it encapsulates both history and imagination in one breathtaking frame.
