EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the enchanting Old Abbey Ruins on the beautiful island of Tresco in the Scilly Isles. The ruins, shrouded in a veil of ivy, exude an air of mystery and history. At the heart of the scene, a Dracaena tree, also known as the dragon tree, bursts into bloom. Its striking red and yellow flowers add a vibrant pop of color against the backdrop of the ancient stonework. The Old Abbey Ruins, once a Benedictine monastery, date back to the 13th century. Over the centuries, the elements and the passage of time have taken their toll, leaving only fragments of the once grand structure. Yet, the ruins have been embraced by nature, with ivy climbing the walls, covering archways, and growing through doorways and gateways. The Dracaena tree, with its towering height and dramatic foliage, stands proudly amidst the ruins. Its blooms, reminiscent of red and yellow flames, add a touch of exoticism to the otherwise serene and tranquil scene. The tree's presence lends a sense of harmony between the natural world and the remnants of the past. This photograph, a window into the past, invites us to imagine the stories and secrets that the Old Abbey Ruins and the Dracaena tree hold. It is a testament to the beauty and resilience of nature, as well as the rich history of the Scilly Isles.
