EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of Stones Mill, a derelict windpump nestled in the idyllic countryside of Freethorpe, Norfolk. Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of rolling green fields, this Victorian-era structure exudes an air of mystery and nostalgia. The circular brick tower, now a ruin but once a symbol of industrial prowess, tells tales of bygone days when it harnessed the power of wind to grind grain or pump water. Its weathered exterior bears witness to years gone by, adding character and charm to its dilapidated state. Listed as an important historical site (IoE 228604) by Historic England, this photograph captures not only the physical remnants of our past but also evokes a sense of wonder at how time has transformed this once-thriving piece of machinery into a picturesque relic. David N. Gifford's expert composition skillfully frames the mill within its natural surroundings while highlighting its unique architectural details. The play between light and shadow adds depth and texture to every brick and stone captured in this image. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time - reminded that even in decay there is beauty; that history lives on through these forgotten structures; and that nature reclaims what man leaves behind. This photograph serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and a poignant reminder to cherish our heritage amidst ever-changing landscapes.
