EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the medieval ages as this photograph transports us to a thrilling jousting tournament in the heart of Cornwall, England, circa 1980s. The air is thick with excitement as brave knights on horseback charge towards each other, their chainmail armor glinting in the sun and their helmets adorned with feathers and fleur-de-lys emblems. The horses, powerful and majestic, gallop alongside their riders, their muscles straining with the effort of the intense competition. The lists, or fields, where the jousting takes place, are filled with a bustling crowd of onlookers. The Cornish people, dressed in period costumes, cheer and clap as they witness the knights engage in this ancient and noble sport. The atmosphere is electric, a true celebration of medieval tradition and fun. The clash of steel against steel, the thunderous hooves of the horses, and the roar of the crowd create an unforgettable scene. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the jousting tournament, a sport that continues to captivate and entertain generations. The knights, their faces hidden behind their helmets, focus intently on their opponents, their determination etched on their faces. The tension is palpable as they engage in a battle of skill and strength, their lances aimed at the heart of their adversary. This photograph is a stunning reminder of the rich history and culture of Cornwall and the medieval ages, a time of chivalry, honor, and excitement. It is a moment frozen in time, a glimpse into the past that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
