EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless essence of rural life in Mid Wales, as members of the Crickhowell Hunt make their way along a picturesque country lane near the historic town of Crickhowell in Powys. Dating back to the 18th century, the Crickhowell Hunt is one of the oldest hunting clubs in Wales, and has played an integral role in the region's rich hunting tradition for over 300 years. In the image, riders on horseback lead their hounds through the lane, their faces set with determination and focus as they follow the scent of the fox. The hounds, ears pricked and tails held high, are a sight to behold as they eagerly follow their masters, their bays blending with the sounds of the surrounding countryside. Despite the controversy surrounding fox hunting and the perceived cruelty of the sport, this photograph offers a glimpse into a historical pastime that has shaped the culture and identity of rural communities in Wales and beyond. The rolling hills and verdant landscapes of Powys provide the perfect backdrop for this quintessential scene, which transports us back in time to a simpler era. As we admire the beauty of this moment, it's important to remember the complex history and nuances of fox hunting and its place in the annals of Welsh history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the deep connection between people, horses, hounds, and the land, and the enduring allure of the great outdoors.
