EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Leith Hill Tower in Surrey. Standing tall and proud, this Georgian folly tower was constructed in the mid-18th century by Richard Hulls of Leith Hill Place. Perched on the summit of Leith Hill, it offers breathtaking views that stretch as far as the eye can see. In this particular shot, we are treated to a picturesque scene where a couple strolls past a majestic tree, perfectly positioned in the middle distance. The tranquility of rural landscape surrounds them as they embark on their leisurely walk towards the distant tower. Leith Hill Tower holds historical significance as it is situated atop one of southeast England's highest points. Its architectural grandeur and panoramic vistas make it an ideal destination for sightseers seeking solace amidst nature's splendor. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to this photograph, transporting us back to the 1910s when life moved at a slower pace. Katherine MacFee skillfully captures both the timeless charm and peaceful ambiance that permeate this idyllic countryside setting. Whether you're an admirer of architectural marvels or simply yearning for an escape into nature's embrace, this print serves as a window into another era—a reminder that beauty can be found even in simple moments spent exploring our surroundings.
