EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the picturesque seaside town of Seaton, Devon during the 1960s. The scene is set against a backdrop of dramatic cliffs and shingle beach, with the gentle roll of the waves in the distance. In the foreground, a group of men are intently focused on their task, their faces etched with determination and concentration. They are pulling on the ropes attached to their fishing nets, their bodies glistening with sweat in the salty sea air. The nets are filled with a catch of silver fish, their scales glinting in the sunlight. Two young boys watch on with wide-eyed wonder, learning the age-old tradition of fishing from their elders. The scene is one of community and camaraderie, as the men work together to haul in their catch. The simple floats bobbing in the water add a touch of tranquility to the scene, contrasting with the raw energy and power of the men at work. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a simpler time, when the rhythms of the sea and the land shaped the daily lives of those who lived by the coast.
