EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative image of Waterfoot, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, circa early 1900s. The serene scene unfolds before us as a quaint fishing boat rests peacefully in the foreground, its vibrant colors contrasting against the muted tones of the shoreline. In the background, the picturesque town of Waterfoot comes into view, its low-lying buildings huddled together against the rolling hills and expansive sea. Located in County Down, this charming coastal village has long been a haven for fishermen, who have plied their trade in these waters for generations. The rugged beauty of the area is on full display here, with the crashing waves and rocky shoreline adding to the sense of raw, untamed power of the natural world. Despite the passage of time, Waterfoot retains its traditional character, offering visitors a glimpse into the past. The fishing industry remains an integral part of the community, with local fishermen continuing to use traditional methods to catch their daily catch. The village is also home to a number of historic sites, including the ruins of the 13th-century Waterfoot Castle, which sits proudly on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea. This photograph invites us to imagine a simpler way of life, where the rhythms of the natural world dictate the pace of daily life. It is a reminder of the enduring beauty and resilience of the Irish coastline and the communities that call it home.
