EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two little boys stand transfixed on the quayside of Newlyn Harbour in Cornwall, their young faces reflecting a sense of wonder and fascination as they take in the sight of the traditional wooden fishing boats moored before them. Dating back to the 1800s, Newlyn Harbour is renowned for its historic fleet of iron-hulled, wooden fishing boats, each adorned with intricately knotted ropes and colorful patterns that add to their unique character. The boys, dressed in warm, patterned jumpers and jeans, seem to be lost in the rich maritime history that surrounds them. Their eyes are fixed on the masts and sails of the boats, their small hands reaching out to touch the rough iron rings that secure the ropes. The scene is one of simple pleasure and discovery, a moment frozen in time from the 1980s. The water of the harbor shimmers in the sunlight, reflecting the vibrant colors of the boats and the surrounding quayside. The coastline stretches out behind them, dotted with picturesque cottages and the occasional modern boat. The air is filled with the salty scent of the sea, the sound of seagulls calling in the distance, and the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace and the beauty of the natural world was a constant source of inspiration and wonder for children and adults alike. It is a testament to the enduring charm of Newlyn Harbour and the Cornish coast, and a reminder of the simple joys that can be found in the simple things in life.
