EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Phil Noble, the power and force of nature are on full display as waves crash against the South Pier on Blackpool Promenade in northern Britain. Taken on November 13,2015, during the arrival of Abigail, the first named storm to hit Britain that year, this image perfectly encapsulates the intensity and unpredictability of such weather phenomena. The immense strength of Abigail is evident as winds reached a staggering speed of up to 84 miles per hour. The storm's fury resulted in widespread power outages affecting approximately 12,000 homes across the region. As depicted in this photograph, it is clear that no structure or man-made barrier can fully withstand Mother Nature's might when she unleashes her wrath upon coastal areas. The composition beautifully captures the contrast between the dark and turbulent sea and the solid pier standing resolute amidst chaos. The crashing waves create a mesmerizing spectacle with their frothy white crests contrasting against a moody sky overhead. Phil Noble's skillful lens work allows us to witness firsthand both the awe-inspiring beauty and destructive potential inherent in natural forces. This remarkable image serves as a reminder of our vulnerability in face of nature's raw power while also showcasing its breathtaking grandeur.
