EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from January 1980, we are transported to the enchanting moors of Lostwithiel, Cornwall. Nature's raw power is vividly captured as a fallen tree lies strewn across the landscape, a testament to the heavy overnight winds that ravaged the area. The aftermath reveals the extent of its destructive force, with Parkside Garage bearing the brunt of its impact directly beneath. As our gaze shifts towards the converted lime kilns in view, we notice their resilience against nature's fury. Though superficial damage marks their roofline, they stand tall amidst scattered rubble and fallen branches—a silent reminder of human perseverance in harmony with nature's unpredictable temperament. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Jonathan Barker, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this moment forever. Through his lens, he encapsulates not only a scene but also an era—an era where man and nature coexist on these ancient Cornish lands. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both our vulnerability and strength when faced with Mother Nature's might. It invites us to reflect upon our place within her grand design while marveling at her ability to shape landscapes and lives alike. Displayed proudly at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print transports viewers back in time—immersing them in an unforgettable moment frozen by Jonathan Barker's skilled hand.
