Rain clouds are lit by the setting sun, looking south from Hadrians Wall near Hexham
Rain clouds are lit by the setting sun, looking south from Hadrians Wall near Hexham in northern England August 24, 2013. Hadrians Wall is a structure built in Roman times, marking the boundary of the Roman province of Britannia and separating it from territory to the north, much of which lies in present-day Scotland. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Signs of ancient conflict - from centuries-old fortifications to historic battlefields - score the landscape around the English-Scottish border. But many living in the region lead lives straddling both sides, and express practical concerns about the possibility of a more formal split between the two nations in the event of a yes vote in next years referendum on Scottish independence, which will be held on September 18, 2014.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a breathtaking moment as rain clouds are illuminated by the golden rays of the setting sun, casting an ethereal glow over the landscape. Taken from Hadrian's Wall near Hexham in northern England on August 24,2013, this image showcases the remarkable beauty of nature juxtaposed against ancient history. Hadrian's Wall, a Roman structure built centuries ago to mark the boundary between Britannia and Scotland, stands as a testament to a time long past. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, it serves as a reminder of the region's rich historical significance. The English-Scottish border is steeped in signs of ancient conflict - remnants of fortifications and historic battlefields dotting its rugged terrain. However, amidst this storied past lies present-day concerns about potential division between these two nations. As next year's referendum on Scottish independence looms closer (to be held on September 18th), those living in this border region express practical worries about what such separation might mean for their lives straddling both sides. The possibility of a more formal split evokes apprehension among locals who have grown accustomed to shared identities and intertwined communities. Through Toby Melville's lens, we witness not only nature's magnificence but also glimpse into the complex tapestry woven by history and contemporary politics along this fabled borderland.
