EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the enigmatic beauty of Kirkwall, the principal town of the Orkney Isles in Scotland, is showcased in an unusual and atmospheric light. The image, captured in the mid-1920s, depicts the town as seen from Cromwell's Fort at midnight during the Midsummer period. The sun had long since set, yet the twilight lingered, casting an ethereal glow over the landscape. The most striking feature of the scene is the silhouette of St Magnus Cathedral, located in the back left corner. Its distinctive outline stands proud against the night sky, a testament to the rich history and architectural grandeur of this ancient place. The cathedral, named after the Norwegian saint and Earl Magnus, is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and a symbol of Kirkwall's deep-rooted heritage. The conditions during this time of year, known as the "Orkney Midnight Sun," offer a bizarre and otherworldly experience. The sun hovers just below the horizon, casting a golden light that bathes the town in an otherworldly glow. The long daylight hours of the Midsummer season create a unique and unusual atmosphere, one that is both captivating and surreal. This photograph, with its hauntingly beautiful depiction of Kirkwall at midnight, invites the viewer to imagine the strange and enchanting world of the Orkney Isles. The unusual conditions of the Midsummer night create a sense of wonder and intrigue, making this image a truly unique and captivating glimpse into the past.
