EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time circa 1940, showcasing a cooling tower standing tall near the smoking chimneys of a factory on the outskirts of Sheffield, in Yorkshire. The industrial landscape is both mesmerizing and haunting, with billowing smoke rising into the sky against the backdrop of an overcast day.
The stark contrast between the dark silhouette of the cooling tower and the plumes of smoke creates a sense of foreboding, hinting at the environmental impact of manufacturing processes during this era. The image evokes a bygone era when factories dominated city skylines and air pollution was an accepted part of daily life.
Val Doone's keen eye for detail is evident in this composition, capturing not just a scene but also a mood. The monochromatic palette adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, transporting viewers back to a pivotal moment in history when industry reigned supreme.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryear, we are reminded of both the progress and consequences that come with technological advancement. It serves as a poignant reminder to reflect on our past as we strive towards building a more sustainable future.
