EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic significance of the 20ft and 30ft Experimental Sound Mirrors, located in Denge, Kent, England. Built in 1928 and 1930 as a precursor to RADAR technology, these concrete monuments stand tall as a testament to scientific innovation and early air defense strategies. The photograph showcases the intricate design of these listening devices, which were developed by Dr. William Sansome Tucker. Nestled within the picturesque landscape of Greatstone Lakes RSPB Reserve, these sound mirrors have become an iconic landmark that attracts visitors from around the world. Their imposing presence evokes a sense of awe and curiosity about their role in history. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bob Battersby for EyeUbiquitous, we are transported back to the 1920s and 1930s when these experimental structures were at the forefront of technological advancements. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to the photograph while emphasizing its historical significance. While admiring this print, one cannot help but marvel at how far our understanding of sound detection has come since then. These sound mirrors serve as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and progress in safeguarding our skies
