EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Red River EAC363441" takes us back to the picturesque Godrevy in 1978. The image showcases a stunning view of the Red River gracefully flowing into St Ives Bay, leaving behind a striking red hue that contrasts beautifully with the deep blue coastal waters. The river's crimson color is a result of tin deposits from mining operations upstream, creating an otherworldly scene that captures both nature's beauty and man's impact on the environment. It serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich mining history and its lasting effects on the landscape. From this elevated perspective, we can appreciate how the river meanders through the rugged terrain before merging with St Ives Bay. The intricate patterns formed by its winding path create an artistic masterpiece that only nature could conceive. The photograph transports us back to a simpler time - the 1970s - where technology was less prevalent, allowing for unspoiled landscapes like this one to be cherished without distraction. It invites us to reflect upon our relationship with nature and encourages us to preserve such breathtaking sights for future generations. Captured by © Historic England Archive, this print not only offers aesthetic pleasure but also acts as a historical record of Godrevy during this era. Its timeless appeal reminds us of our connection to both past and present while inspiring awe at Mother Nature's ability to transform even mundane scenes into extraordinary works of art.
