EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken by the talented Jim Hancock in November 1970, showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Stert Island. Nestled near Burnham on Sea in Somerset, this enchanting island was once connected to the Steart Peninsula until a fateful event occurred in 1798 - when the relentless sea broke through and forever changed its landscape. Now serving as a thriving nature reserve, Stert Island has become a sanctuary for an array of wildlife species that call it home. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are drawn to the vast expanse of shimmering blue waters surrounding the island, creating an ethereal contrast against its lush greenery. The intricate details captured from above allow us to appreciate the delicate balance between land and sea. The sinuous curves formed by nature's forces are evident along its coastline - evidence of centuries-old battles fought between manmade structures and Mother Nature herself. Jim Hancock's expert lens captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of humanity's ever-changing relationship with our environment. This photograph is more than just an image; it tells a story of resilience and adaptation. As we admire this remarkable piece of history preserved through photography, let us reflect on how far we have come since that pivotal moment when Stert Island became untethered from mainland Somerset - reminding us that even amidst change and uncertainty, there is always beauty waiting to be discovered.
