EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque moment in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset. The image showcases a breathtaking rural landscape dominated by the magnificent limestone gorge and towering cliffs of the Mendip Hills. In this particular scene, our attention is drawn to a man on horseback gracefully riding along the road that winds its way through Cheddar Gorge. His figure adds a sense of scale and movement against the backdrop of rugged beauty. It's as if he has embarked on an adventurous journey through this enchanting natural wonder. Cheddar Gorge itself is renowned for its stunning geological formations, formed over millions of years from carboniferous limestone. This unique composition creates an awe-inspiring sightseeing experience for visitors even today. However, MacFee's photograph allows us to glimpse into what it might have been like exploring this untouched marvel more than a century ago. The black and white tones evoke nostalgia while emphasizing the timeless appeal of Cheddar Gorge. Through this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to witness both nature's grandeur and human interaction with it during simpler times. Katherine MacFee skillfully captures not only the physical essence but also the spirit of Cheddar Gorge in her photography, reminding us why such landscapes continue to captivate our imagination throughout history.
