EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O Davies transports us to the picturesque Cumbrian landscape, specifically near Little Langdale in the Lake District, Cumbria. The image showcases a fascinating glimpse into history as it captures the remnants of Greenburn Copper Mine's once natural waterbody. In the early 18th century, this serene water source was ingeniously dammed to supply much-needed water for mining operations. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable; a reflection of the surrounding beauty dances upon the calm waters, mirroring vibrant flowers that dot the rural landscape. A soft cloud hovers above, casting gentle shadows and adding depth to an already breathtaking scene. It is through Davies' lens that we are able to appreciate not only nature's tranquility but also its ability to adapt and coexist with human endeavors. As we gaze upon this stunning vista, we can't help but feel a sense of awe at how time has shaped these lands. This image serves as a poignant reminder of our connection with both past and present—a testament to mankind's ingenuity and nature's resilience. Through his artistry, James O Davies invites us on a visual journey where history meets serenity in one harmonious frame.
