EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the eerie stillness of the M27 Motorway during its closure for bridge demolition at Rownhams in 2018. The creator of this powerful image remains unknown, but their ability to convey a sense of desolation is undeniable. In the foreground, we see an empty road stretching into the distance, devoid of any signs of life or movement. The clear blue sky above contrasts with the deserted motorway below, emphasizing the absence of traffic and activity. The M27 Motorway, located in Hampshire, England, has long been a vital transportation artery connecting various regions. However, on this particular day captured by the photographer's lens, it stands silent and closed off from public use. The bridge demolition project temporarily halted all traffic flow through this section. The photograph serves as a reminder that even bustling thoroughfares can be transformed into ghostly landscapes when human presence is removed. It evokes feelings of solitude and contemplation while highlighting our reliance on roads and transport systems for daily life. As we gaze upon this striking image from the 20th century – filled with vibrant colors and sharp details – we cannot help but marvel at how quickly our world can shift from bustling to abandoned.
