EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the fading light of dusk, Portchester Castle stands proudly on the eastern shores of Portsmouth Harbour in Hampshire, England. This evocative photograph by Derek Kendall captures the essence of this ancient fortification, which has guarded the Solent estuary for over a thousand years. The castle's dark silhouette, framed against the setting sun, speaks to its long history of defence and protection. Built initially as a Roman fort in the 3rd century AD, it was later expanded during the medieval and Norman periods, reflecting the shifting political tides of the time. The castle's imposing walls, once a symbol of strength and power, now stand in quiet repose, their purpose transformed into a tranquil attraction for visitors. The water, shimmering with the reflections of the setting sun, adds an ethereal quality to the scene, as if inviting us to step back in time. A solitary boat, anchored in the foreground, adds a sense of scale to the image, reminding us of the castle's strategic location and its role as a vital defensive structure throughout history. In the distance, the spire of Portchester Parish Church rises above the rooftops, a testament to the enduring presence of faith and community in this historic town. As the last rays of sunlight fade, the castle's silhouette becomes a hauntingly beautiful sight, a reminder of the rich history and heritage that lies within its walls. This photograph by Derek Kendall invites us to pause, to reflect, and to appreciate the beauty and significance of Portchester Castle.
