EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jonathan Bailey showcases the majestic Lydford Castle in Devon, England. Standing tall and proud, the 13th-century tower keep dominates the landscape with its imposing presence. The castle's weathered stone walls tell tales of a rich medieval history, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. In this particular shot, our attention is drawn to a picturesque scene unfolding at the foot of the castle. A graceful horse grazes peacefully amidst lush greenery, adding an unexpected touch of tranquility to this ancient fortification. Its elegant form stands in stark contrast against the rugged backdrop of stone and towering trees. The composition is enhanced by nature's vibrant palette as hints of purple blossoms dotting nearby foliage add splashes of color to this timeless setting. It serves as a gentle reminder that even within structures built for defense and protection, life continues to flourish harmoniously. Jonathan Bailey has masterfully captured both the strength and serenity embodied by Lydford Castle through his lens. This photograph offers viewers a glimpse into history while also celebrating nature's ability to coexist alongside human creations. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded that beauty can be found in unexpected places – whether it be within centuries-old castles or amongst grazing horses under ancient trees.
