EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Hippodrome in ruins 35011_010" captures the haunting beauty of the remains of the Hippodrome Theatre in the City of Derby. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2021, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural grandeur that once defined this iconic structure. The scene unfolds with an air of melancholy as we witness nature's reclamation of what was once a vibrant hub for theatrical performances. The crumbling walls and dilapidated roof tell a story of time's relentless passage and neglect. Yet, amidst the decay, there is an undeniable allure that draws us closer to explore its forgotten past. As our eyes wander across this desolate landscape, we can almost hear echoes from decades gone by - applause reverberating through these now silent halls, laughter filling every corner, and dreams taking flight on this very stage. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great institutions can succumb to change. Through his lens, Damian Grady invites us to reflect on our own transience while celebrating the enduring power of architecture to evoke emotions long after its original purpose has faded away. This photograph stands as both a testament to human creativity and resilience but also as a warning against complacency towards preserving our cultural heritage. In capturing this mesmerizing image, Grady reminds us that within ruin lies untold stories waiting to be rediscovered; tales that connect us with those who came before us and inspire future generations to cherish their own
