EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the ethereal glow of dawn, Tynemouth Priory stands proudly against the backdrop of a tranquil North Sea. This evocative photograph by Alun Bull captures the haunting beauty of this medieval ruin, nestled between the rugged cliffs and the golden sands of King Edward's Bay in Tyne and Wear, England. The Priory, a former Benedictine monastery, dates back to the 11th century and has weathered the test of time, bearing witness to the relentless march of the tides and the passage of centuries. Its ancient stones, weathered by the elements, tell tales of a rich and complex history. The ruins, silhouetted against the fiery orange and pink hues of the dawn sky, exude an air of mystery and intrigue. The crashing waves of the sea, lapping gently against the shore, add a sense of melancholic serenity to the scene. The soft, golden sand of the beach, dotted with the footprints of early morning walkers, stretches out towards the horizon, merging seamlessly with the vast expanse of the sea. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the coast, with its ever-changing landscape and the timeless beauty of the ruins. It invites us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the simple pleasures of nature and the rich tapestry of history that surrounds us.
