EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Bow Locks 27531_011" captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of Bow Locks in Tower Hamlets, London. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in September 2012, this stunning print offers a unique perspective on these iconic locks. Situated along the River Lee Navigation, Bow Locks serve as a vital gateway between the tranquil waters of the river and the mighty currents of Bow Creek that flow into the renowned River Thames. The intricate network of gates and channels depicted in this image showcases both engineering marvel and architectural elegance. The composition beautifully highlights how these locks seamlessly blend with their natural surroundings. From above, one can appreciate the harmonious coexistence between man-made structures and nature's splendor. The lush greenery bordering the waterways adds a touch of serenity to an otherwise bustling urban landscape. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness centuries-old maritime traditions still thriving amidst modern city life. It serves as a reminder of London's rich history as a major trading hub and its enduring connection to its waterways. Damian Grady's skillful capture not only preserves this significant landmark but also invites us to reflect on our relationship with our built environment.
