EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Norwegian Church in Cardiff, Wales, with a stunning blue sky as its backdrop. Standing proudly in front of the church is a memorial statue dedicated to Captain Scott of the Antarctic, created by Ethel Davies in 2009. The irony lies in the fact that this statue faces the direction from where Captain Scott's ill-fated journey took place, ultimately leading to his failure. It serves as a reminder of Roald Amundsen's triumph over Scott, as the Norwegian explorer beat him to reach the South Pole. The circular composition of this image draws attention to both the architectural beauty of the church and the solemnity of Captain Scott's memorial. Ethel Davies' skillful photography captures not only these elements but also highlights how time has passed since her work was created. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back to an exterior scene filled with sunshine and hope for exploration. The contrast between white clouds and clear skies further enhances our appreciation for this historical moment frozen in time. This image provides us with a glimpse into Cardiff's rich heritage and reminds us of those who dared to venture into uncharted territories. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our enduring fascination with exploration and discovery.
