This aerial view captures the magnificent Garrison Walls in St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. Standing tall and proud, these historic fortifications have withstood the test of time, serving as a testament to their Georgian-era design and strategic coastal defense. The intricate network of walls encircles the Woolpack Battery, which can be seen at the heart of this photograph. The vantage point from above allows us to appreciate the sheer scale and complexity of this defensive structure. Each stone meticulously placed tells a story of resilience and protection against potential invaders.

With its crystal-clear turquoise waters contrasting against lush greenery, it is evident why people flock to this idyllic location year after year. Damian Grady has masterfully captured both the architectural grandeur and breathtaking landscape in one frame.
