EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in the late 1980s, a boatman extends his hand towards the mooring buoy of the Rutland Belle, a pleasure cruiser on Rutland Water in Leicestershire, England. The image captures a moment of quiet tranquility on the water, as the boatman skillfully maneuvers the vessel towards the shore. The Rutland Belle, with its distinctive red and white stripes, cuts through the calm waters, leaving a gentle ripple in its wake. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, with the boatman in traditional boating attire and the pleasure cruiser harking back to a time when leisurely boat trips were a popular pastime. The surrounding landscape is dotted with trees and rolling hills, adding to the idyllic setting. The photograph, taken by renowned British photographer Philip Dunn, perfectly encapsulates the beauty and serenity of Rutland Water, making it a timeless piece of 80s street photography. Rutland Water, the largest man-made lake in England, is a popular destination for boating, fishing, and water sports. The area is rich in wildlife, including various bird species, making it a haven for nature lovers. The Rutland Belle, a popular attraction, offers visitors the chance to explore the lake in style and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. This photograph, with its compelling composition and evocative imagery, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the British countryside and the simple pleasures of a day spent on the water. It is a poignant reminder of the beauty and serenity that can be found in the smallest of moments, and a celebration of the enduring allure of the waterways of Rutland.
