EDITORS COMMENTS
In this tranquil scene from Kensington Gardens in London, a flock of sheep peacefully graze among the lush, verdant grasses, their woolly coats blending seamlessly with the rolling hills. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of wooden deck chairs, inviting visitors to sit and bask in the summer sun's warm embrace. This idyllic tableau transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past when Kensington Gardens, much like Hyde Park, was used for grazing livestock. The dividing line between Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens is marked by the historic Ha-Ha, a sunken ditch with a hidden wall that was the first of its kind in the country. This ingenious design allowed for the open land to be divided without obstructing the view, a concept that was later adopted throughout the land. The Ha-Ha can be seen in the background of this photograph, a testament to the rich history of Kensington Gardens. As we gaze upon this charming image, it is easy to forget that sheep grazing in the gardens ended in 1935. However, the memory of this tradition lives on, adding another layer of depth to the already captivating history of Kensington Gardens. The sheep, with their gentle demeanor and unassuming presence, continue to captivate visitors and offer a sense of peace and tranquility, making this a scene that is as timeless as it is enchanting.
