EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Reculver Towers and Roman Fort: A Medieval Landscape of Time and Tide by Paul Marsch The hauntingly beautiful image of Reculver Towers and Roman Fort, captured by Paul Marsch, invites us to ponder the enduring allure of the past and the transient nature of the present. This evocative photograph, taken from Historic England's collection, transports us to the shores of Kent, where the twin 12th-century church towers stand sentinel over the vast expanse of the English Channel. As the tide recedes, the towers, bathed in the ethereal glow of twilight, emerge from the shimmering waters, their stone walls etched with the passage of time. The ruins of the Roman fort, a testament to the rich history of this place, lie hidden beneath the sands, waiting to be revealed once more. The landscape before us is a tableau of contrasts: the ancient structures, steeped in history and religion, juxtaposed against the ever-changing seascape. The water, both a friend and a foe, ebbs and flows, revealing and concealing the past. The towers, once a beacon of faith and community, now stand as silent witnesses to the ceaseless march of time. The image invites us to reflect on the fleeting nature of our existence, as the tide relentlessly advances and retreats, and the towers, though weathered by the elements, remain steadfastly rooted in the sands. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of history and the transient nature of our world. Paul Marsch's photograph, with its captivating composition and evocative atmosphere, invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty of the past, as well as the ever-changing present. It is a testament to the power of the photographic medium to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire wonder and reflection.
