EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the entrance lock to the former East India Dock Basin, a remarkable piece of industrial history. The image perfectly captures the essence of this iron lock gate, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of the iconic Millennium Dome. Listed as a significant architectural structure, this ashlar masterpiece is a testament to Britain's rich maritime heritage. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating this imposing lock gate. Its weathered appearance tells tales of countless ships passing through its sturdy embrace over time. As you gaze at it, you can almost hear echoes of bustling activity from bygone eras when trade and transport thrived along these waters. The presence of the Millennium Dome in the background adds an intriguing contrast between past and present. It serves as a reminder that while industries may come and go, our ability to adapt and evolve remains constant. Colin Carron's expert photography skills have truly brought out every nuance in this composition - from the play of light on iron surfaces to reflections dancing upon rippling water. This print not only immortalizes an important historical landmark but also invites viewers to ponder upon our ever-changing urban landscape.
