EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of derelict cranes standing tall in Royal Victoria Docks, London. Once a bustling hub of global trade and commerce, London's former status as the greatest port on earth is now a distant memory. These silent giants serve as poignant reminders of its glorious past. Located outside the sleek and modern Excel Conference Centre, these gaunt and stark structures stand in stark contrast to their surroundings. The entire Dockland area of East London has undergone massive redevelopment, leaving these obsolete cranes as relics frozen in time. The image showcases the urban decay that has befallen this once-thriving port. The empty gantries and unused girders symbolize a bygone era when ships filled the harbour with life and activity. Now they loom against the sky, solid grey silhouettes looking down upon an altered landscape. As we gaze up at these towering remnants of history, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for what was lost. They silently salute an industry that shaped nations and connected people across continents. Jon Bower's masterful composition captures both the grandeur and melancholy inherent in these forgotten giants. Through his lens, we are transported back to a time when London reigned supreme on the world stage – a testament to human ingenuity and ambition that will forever be etched into our collective memory.
