EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the enchanting beauty of A La Ronde, a remarkable Grade I listed 18th-century house nestled in the serene village of Lympstone, near Exmouth, East Devon. Once home to two spinster cousins, this architectural gem now stands under the loving care and preservation of the National Trust. Built with meticulous attention to detail in 1796, A La Ronde remained exclusively in the hands of unmarried women for nearly nine decades. Its unique design and historical significance make it a true treasure that has stood the test of time. In this stunning image captured by Damian Grady in August 2016, we are treated to an extraordinary view from above. The intricate patterns formed by its circular shape and symmetrical wings create an awe-inspiring sight against the lush green landscape surrounding it. The photograph not only showcases A La Ronde's grandeur but also highlights its harmonious integration into nature. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our ability to coexist with our surroundings. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we cannot help but be transported back in time to an era when elegance reigned supreme. It is a visual reminder that history lives on through these architectural marvels and invites us all to appreciate their enduring splendor.
