EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bernard Stradling LRPS showcases the striking Smith Monument, a rough granite rubble obelisk nestled on the enchanting Isles of Scilly. With its weathered exterior and commanding presence, this memorial stands as a testament to the enduring power of remembrance. The Smith Monument is an architectural marvel that has been listed for its historical significance. Its rugged construction reflects the resilience and strength of both the monument itself and those it commemorates. The use of rough granite rubble adds texture and character to this imposing structure, evoking a sense of timelessness. Set against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty, this photograph captures not only the physical grandeur of the obelisk but also invites contemplation about life's transience. As sunlight dances upon its surface, shadows playfully dance around each crevice, emphasizing every intricate detail carved into stone. Bernard Stradling LRPS skillfully captures these elements in his composition, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in both history and nature simultaneously. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst vast landscapes or isolated islands like the Isles of Scilly, human stories are etched into our surroundings. Whether one admires architectural feats or seeks solace in contemplating past lives remembered through memorials such as this one, Stradling's print offers an opportunity for reflection and connection with our shared heritage.
