EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of the Beach at Onival in Ault, a picturesque commune nestled in the Somme department of Hauts-de-France, northern France. The image, estimated to date from the 1930s, showcases the rugged cliffs that dominate the landscape, their towering heights gradually descending to meet the sandy shoreline. The coastal scene is a testament to the raw power and majesty of nature, with the crashing waves relentlessly battering the base of the cliffs, creating a mesmerizing display of white foam. The Beach at Onival is a popular destination for visitors seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and connect with the natural world. The peaceful ambiance is further enhanced by the tranquil blue waters of the English Channel, which stretch out towards the horizon, merging with the sky in a seemingly endless expanse. The commune of Ault, with its rich history and charming character, offers a unique blend of coastal charm and rural tranquility. The area is steeped in history, with remnants of ancient fortifications and military installations still visible along the coastline, serving as a reminder of the region's storied past. This photograph, taken by Grenville Collins, transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era. The Beach at Onival remains an enduring symbol of the natural beauty and timeless allure of the French coastline.
