EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the haunting beauty of the island of Hirta, located in St Kilda, Scotland. The image transports us to a place frozen in time, where remnants of an abandoned village stand as a testament to a bygone era. Against the backdrop of a vibrant blue sky and surrounded by the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean, we are drawn into this remote corner of Europe. The ruins that dominate the landscape evoke both curiosity and melancholy. Each crumbling stone wall tells a story of lives once lived on this isolated island. As our gaze extends beyond these dilapidated structures, we catch sight of stone cleits dotting the horizon. These traditional storage huts were essential for preserving food and supplies in such an unforgiving environment. Photographer David Williams skillfully captures not only the physical remains but also conveys a sense of isolation and solitude through his lens. The untouched natural beauty that surrounds this forgotten village is awe-inspiring; it reminds us how nature reclaims what was once inhabited by humans. In this photograph, Williams invites us to reflect on our own impermanence while marveling at nature's resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in abandonment, there is still profound beauty to be found amidst desolation.
