EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a simpler time along the picturesque River Loughor in Penclawdd, Gower, South Wales. Dating back to the 1980s, the image shows a group of old men intently watching as a small pleasure boat is carefully launched into the river. The tranquil scene unfolds against the backdrop of the rugged Gower Peninsula, with the undulating coastline and the vast expanse of the estuary stretching out towards the Bristol Channel and the open sea. The tide is out, revealing the muddy riverbed and exposing the boats that are moored along the shore. The men, dressed in coats and hats, work together to maneuver the boat into the water, their faces etched with concentration and determination. The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie and tradition, as the men carry on a time-honored ritual that has likely been passed down through generations. The River Loughor, located in the north of the Gower Peninsula, has long been a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. Its rich fishing grounds and stunning natural beauty have attracted people to its shores for centuries. This photograph, taken in 1988 by acclaimed photographer Philip Dunn, captures the essence of the area and the people who call it home. The image is a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures of life along the coast and the enduring bond between the people and the sea.
