EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable collection of rusted cannons that once served as the defenders of the army garrison at Siyu Fort. Situated on Pate Island within the Lamu Archipelago, this historic fort was constructed by the Sultan of Zanzibar during the middle of the 19th century. As we gaze upon these corroded remnants, we are transported back in time to an era when heavy weapons and cast iron cannons were essential for safeguarding coastal territories. The Siyu Fort stands proudly at the end of a picturesque mangrove-lined tidal channel leading to Siyu village, serving as a testament to Swahili culture and its influence in this region. Built with coral rag, this ancient ruin exudes both strength and beauty. Through Nigel Pavitt's lens, we can almost hear echoes from history reverberating off these dilapidated walls. The image captures not only the physical decay but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for days long gone. As we contemplate this photograph, it reminds us that even in ruins there is beauty and significance. These cannons may be weathered by time, but they symbolize an important chapter in Kenya's rich African heritage – one that should be cherished and preserved for generations to come.
