EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Ethel Davies on December 23rd, 2009 at 10:12:59, takes us back to a nostalgic winter scene on the pontoon at Lisson Wide. Located along the Regents Canal in London's NW8 district, this enchanting image showcases a unique aspect of English culture. As snow blankets the surroundings, we are transported to a time when traditional canal boats sailed through icy waters. The focus of this snapshot lies not only on the serene white landscape but also on an intriguing detail - wooden clogs left behind by their owner. These humble footwear items stand out against the snowy backdrop and offer insight into how people braved cold weather conditions while navigating these narrow waterways. Ethel Davies skillfully captures both beauty and simplicity in this horizontal composition. Her lens freezes a moment that evokes memories of winters past and invites contemplation about how things have changed over time. This photograph is part of "Then and Now Images" an extraordinary collection that documents historical moments across England without any commercial intent. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and encourages us to appreciate traditions that may be fading away with modernization. Let this mesmerizing print transport you to another era where wooden clogs treaded upon frozen canals, leaving imprints in the glistening snow – an enduring symbol of resilience amidst winter's embrace.
