EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sunset at St Leonards, Hastings, Sussex, throws the pier into relief" takes us back to the 1940s. The image beautifully captures the serene beauty of a sunset over St Leonard's Pier, despite its turbulent history during the war years. St Leonard's Pier stands as a testament to resilience and endurance. It has weathered gales, fire, and even cutting into for defense purposes during World War II. This photograph allows us to reflect on the scars left by those challenging times while appreciating the pier's enduring presence against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset. The monochrome composition adds depth and emotion to this scene from another era. The absence of color invites viewers to focus on the intricate details of both land and sea. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time - witnessing firsthand how nature effortlessly paints an awe-inspiring picture with hues of gray. This print not only showcases topography but also serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, there is always beauty worth preserving. Its historical significance makes it more than just a visual delight; it becomes a window into our past and an invitation to appreciate our present surroundings.
