Mont des Cats, Dunkirk, France - 1914: A Haunting Moment at Potje-Cafe This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet respite at the Potje-Cafe, nestled atop the Mont des Cats in Dunkirk, France, during the early days of the First World War. The serene scene is shattered by the eerie presence of a spooky face peering in from the window, adding an unsettling air to the otherwise mundane image of two women enjoying their pipes and a cup of coffee. The Mont des Cats, a hill overlooking the North Sea, was a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, with the Potje-Cafe being a beloved gathering place. However, the tranquility of this idyllic setting was soon to be disrupted by the looming threat of war. The women in the photograph, dressed in their turn-of-the-century attire, seem oblivious to the ominous figure lurking in the background. Their relaxed posture and contented expressions suggest a sense of comfort and familiarity with the cafe and each other. The pipe smoking was a common practice among women of the time, and the shared activity added to the camaraderie and conviviality of the cafe. Despite the peaceful atmosphere, the date of the photograph - January 16, 1914 - foreshadows the impending conflict that would soon engulf Europe. The ghostly apparition at the window serves as a chilling reminder of the darkness that was about to descend upon this picturesque corner of France. This haunting image, captured over a century ago, invites us to reflect on the fleeting nature of peace and the inexorable march of time. It serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of the world around us and the importance of cherishing the moments of tranquility and connection that we encounter in our daily lives.
