EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a young child, bundled up against the rain, makes her way along the sandy beach of Port Manech in Brittany, France. The child, her face hidden beneath the brim of a large, colorful umbrella, wears rubber wellingtons on her feet, adding to her singular appearance as she passes by the brightly-painted beach huts. The scene, captured by photographer Philip Dunn in the late 1980s, exudes a sense of nostalgia and longing for simpler times. Despite the rain, the beach remains a popular destination for families seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The child's solitary walk along the shore, with the rain pattering gently on the umbrella and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore in the background, speaks to the transformative power of nature and the enduring allure of the seaside. The image is reminiscent of the quintessential British seaside holiday, with its combination of rainy weather, colorful beach huts, and the sound of seagulls calling in the distance. The photograph's composition, with the child's small figure dwarfed by the expansive beach and the looming sky, adds to the sense of wonder and discovery that comes with childhood experiences. Overall, this photograph is a poignant reminder of the simple joys of childhood and the enduring allure of the seaside, even in the face of inclement weather.
