EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Men Amber, a remarkable natural outcrop of granite located on the hill summit to the east of Nancegollan in Sithney, Cornwall. The image showcases Charles Woolf standing proudly on Mên Amber, also known as a Logan Stone due to its ability to rock back and forth. The historical significance of this site becomes apparent as we delve into its past. During the English Civil War, this stone was overthrown as it served as a meeting place for local people sympathetic to Royalists after Sithney Church was stripped. This photograph transports us back to that momentous time in history. Photographer Joyce Greenham skillfully captures the rugged beauty and timeless allure of Men Amber against the backdrop of Cornwall's breathtaking landscape. The composition highlights every intricate detail - from the weathered texture of the granite to Woolf's confident stance atop this ancient marvel. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of our rich heritage but also our connection with nature's wonders. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst turmoil and conflict, there is solace and strength found within these ancient stones
