EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of the Botallack tin mine, an iconic cliffside ruin nestled in the rugged landscape of Cornwall, England. As dusk settles over this UNESCO World Heritage Site near St. Just and Penzance, the fading light paints a mesmerizing scene that evokes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia. The image showcases the dramatic coastline meeting the waters' edge, where waves crash against towering cliffs with awe-inspiring force. The rock formations stand as silent witnesses to centuries past, reminding us of their historical significance and architectural marvels. Against a clear sky adorned with hues of orange and pink, the old ruins take on an ethereal glow during sunset. Photographer Nigel Hicks skillfully employs long exposure techniques to capture every intricate detail while maintaining a sense of movement in both sea and sky. This technique enhances the natural beauty surrounding these ancient remnants, offering viewers a momentary escape into nature's grandeur. With no people present in this frame, it allows one to fully immerse themselves in this breathtaking scenery – untouched by modernity yet brimming with stories from times gone by. It is no wonder that Botallack tin mine has become such a popular tourist destination for those seeking solace amidst majestic landscapes and reminders of our rich history. In Nigel Hicks' photograph, we witness not only Cornwall's stunning natural wonders but also its ability to transport us back through time – inviting contemplation on our place within this vast world.
