EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jared I. Lenz Photography showcases the Kelso Abbey Ruins in Scotland, specifically focusing on the south face of the surviving West tower. The ruins depict a majestic and awe-inspiring sight, evoking a sense of both beauty and destruction. Kelso Abbey was established in the 12th century by Tironensian monks who were brought to Scotland during Alexander I's reign. This historical significance adds depth to the image, as it represents centuries of religious devotion and cultural heritage. The color image captures the essence of Kelso Abbey amidst an overcast day, enhancing its hauntingly beautiful atmosphere. The wrought iron fence surrounding the abbey adds a touch of medieval charm while emphasizing its abandoned state. The photograph also highlights architectural elements such as arches and tombstones scattered throughout the cemetery, further immersing viewers into this ancient place of worship. The autumnal backdrop enhances the overall ambiance with warm hues that complement both nature's decay and man-made ruin. Jared I. Lenz expertly portrays this scene without any human presence, allowing us to fully appreciate the grandeur and serenity that these ruins hold within their walls. It is a testament to his skill as a photographer that he can capture such profound emotions through his lens. This print from Fine Art Storehouse serves as a powerful reminder of our connection to history and invites contemplation about impermanence, faith, and reverence for those who came before us.
