EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, an elderly man stands on the deserted Porthcawl promenade in South Wales, gazing out at the turbulent winter sea. The year is 1989, and the 80s are drawing to a close. The man's posture is that of quiet contemplation, his expression thoughtful as he braves the elements with a large umbrella shielding him from the relentless rain. The weathered wooden railing at his back, the pebbled beach, and the rolling waves all contribute to the sense of raw, untamed power of the natural world. The mood is one of melancholy and introspection, as if the man is lost in memories or deep thoughts. The scene is a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the beauty of the coastal landscape, even in its harshest and most unforgiving season. The photograph, taken in the late 1980s, captures the essence of a moment frozen in time, inviting the viewer to reflect on the simple pleasures of observing the natural world, even in the face of adversity. This image, by the acclaimed photographer Philip Dunn, is a testament to the enduring allure of the seaside, and the human connection to the ever-changing tides and weather.
