EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1950s, showcases the breathtaking view of Caernarfon Castle in Gwynedd, North Wales. A testament to the rich history and architectural grandeur of the region, this iconic fortress was built by English King Edward I around 1283, on the site of a Roman fortress and Norman motte. The castle's striking design is a fusion of medieval and Roman influences, with its distinctive crenellations, or defensive battlements, adding to its imposing stature. The castle's green surroundings, dotted with lush grass and vibrant foliage, provide a picturesque backdrop that transports us back in time. The castle's crenellations, reminiscent of the sharp, jagged edges of a green wave crashing against the shore, stand tall against the clear blue sky, evoking a sense of strength and resilience. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring legacy of the past, as well as the natural beauty of Wales.
