EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the enchanting village of Slaithwaite, where a legendary tale comes alive. The image captures a re-enactment of an age-old legend that tells the story of how the villagers once embarked on a daring mission to retrieve the moon's reflection from the tranquil canal. During a mesmerizing procession of lanterns, one particularly grand lantern takes center stage as it represents the elusive moon itself. Suspended high above on a horse-drawn cart, this luminous spectacle illuminates the night and captivates all who witness its ethereal glow. The four individuals pictured alongside this magnificent creation - Fill Burton, Susan Shaw, Natalie Oara, and Alice Shaw - embody both excitement and wonder as they proudly hold their own lanterns. Their faces radiate with childlike joy and anticipation for what lies ahead in this magical journey through time. This snapshot not only transports us to an era long gone but also reminds us of our innate fascination with legends and stories passed down through generations. It serves as a testament to the power of imagination and community spirit that unites people in celebrating cherished folklore. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, let us be reminded of our shared humanity and our collective yearning for adventure beyond what meets the eye.
