EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of Kingston, Norfolk Island, a historic Georgian village that stands as a testament to the colonial past of the British Empire. Built by convicts under harsh conditions during the convict transportation era, this fully restored outpost now exudes peace and tranquility.
The sandstone buildings and architectural features tell a story of hardship and resilience, with each structure bearing witness to its tumultuous history. As a world heritage listed area, Kingston serves as a reminder of our shared past and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
The idyllic setting of Norfolk Island adds to the charm of this picturesque village, with its tranquil coastal features and remote location in the South Pacific Ocean. The absence of people in this image allows us to truly appreciate the beauty and serenity that surrounds Kingston.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era marked by colonialism and struggle. Yet amidst it all, there is a sense of hope and renewal as these historic buildings stand proudly against the backdrop of modernity.
Southern Lightscapes-Australia has captured not just an image but a piece of history frozen in time. This print serves as a reminder of where we come from and how far we have come since those early days on Norfolk Island.
