EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of Swithland Reservoir, nestled in the heart of Leicestershire. The image showcases a harmonious blend of nature and industry, as it encompasses both the tranquil reservoir and the imposing Mountsorrel Quarry. The serene expanse of water stretches out before us, reflecting the clear blue sky above. Its calm surface mirrors the surrounding lush greenery, creating a picturesque scene that is truly awe-inspiring. The dam stands tall and sturdy, holding back this vast body of water with unwavering strength. In stark contrast to the peacefulness of the reservoir lies Mountsorrel Quarry. This industrial marvel dominates part of the landscape, its rugged terrain standing as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness. The quarry's sheer cliffs reveal layers upon layers of history etched into its walls. Damian Grady's expert composition allows us to appreciate not only these natural wonders but also their intricate relationship with one another. It reminds us that even within an environment shaped by human intervention, there exists an undeniable harmony between man-made structures and Mother Nature herself. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Historic England, we are transported to a place where time seems suspended - where tranquility meets industry in perfect balance. It serves as a reminder that our world is filled with hidden treasures waiting to be discovered from every angle - whether seen from above or explored up close on foot.
