EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by John C Magee showcases one of the enchanting castle-like turrets that adorn the perimeter of the Mount Tabor Water Reservoir in Portland, Oregon. Built in 1894, this 19th-century reservoir stands as a testament to architectural grandeur and engineering marvels of its time. With a capacity to hold an astounding 20 million gallons of drinking water, it has become an iconic landmark within the city. What makes this reservoir truly unique is its status as one of the few remaining open reservoirs in the United States. Despite facing opposition from regulatory bodies like the EPA since 2006, Portland has valiantly fought against covering these historic structures. This ongoing battle reflects not only their commitment to preserving their rich heritage but also their belief in maintaining a connection between nature and urban life. In this photograph, Magee captures the sheer magnificence and intricate details of one turret against a backdrop of lush greenery. The play of light and shadow adds depth to every nook and cranny, emphasizing both strength and elegance simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization, there are still remnants from our past worth cherishing. With this stunning image on display, viewers are transported into another era where castles guarded precious resources instead of kingdoms – reminding us all about our responsibility towards preserving history while embracing progress for future generations to come.
