EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Michael's Mount, a historic island castle and monastery nestled off the coast of Marazion in Cornwall, England, as seen in this photograph from the 1950s. The island, connected to the mainland by a causeway that is exposed only at low tide, has been a place of pilgrimage and fortification for centuries. In this image, the imposing castle and subtropical gardens, perched atop the granite outcrop, stand proud against the backdrop of the tranquil Cornish sea. The island's ancient chapel, dedicated to the Archangel Saint Michael, can be seen at the very summit, its tall spire reaching towards the heavens. The rocky coastline, dotted with boulders and craggy cliffs, adds to the dramatic beauty of the scene. The clear waters of the English Channel gently lap against the shore, creating a serene and idyllic atmosphere. This photograph, taken in the 1950s, captures the timeless essence of St. Michael's Mount, a place where history, nature, and legend intertwine. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when the natural wonders of the world held a special allure and fascination. The photograph is part of the Peter Keating Aviation Photograph Collection, held at Mary Evans Picture Library. Keating, a renowned aviation photographer, captured this image during one of his many travels, showcasing his exceptional skill in capturing the beauty and majesty of the world around him.
