EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Chris Redgrave showcases the magnificent Reculver Towers and Roman Fort, located in the picturesque town of Reculver, Herne Bay. The image captures the 12th-century towers of the former monastic church of St Mary, which stand proudly within the ruins of a once-mighty Roman Fort. From an aerial drone view taken from the east, this photograph offers a unique perspective that allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and natural beauty of this site. The ancient stone walls of the fortification intertwine with lush greenery, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of North Thanet's stunning coastline. The Reculver Towers themselves are an architectural marvel; their weathered stones tell tales of centuries past while standing as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. As we gaze upon them through this lens, we cannot help but be transported back in time to when monks roamed these grounds and Romans defended their empire. Chris Redgrave's skillful composition not only highlights these remarkable structures but also emphasizes their harmonious integration into their surroundings. This photograph is more than just a visual representation; it evokes emotions and invites contemplation about our connection to history and nature. Through his lens, Redgrave has captured not just an archaeological site or aerial landscape but rather a moment frozen in time – one that encourages us to reflect on our place within this rich tapestry woven by generations before us.
