EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the bustling streets of London in the 1970s. The iconic Trafalgar Square serves as the battleground for an extraordinary spectacle that has captured the attention of onlookers. Towering over the crowd, two colossal dinosaurs engage in a fierce and epic battle, their massive frames reaching heights comparable to a double-decker bus. This larger-than-life confrontation is not merely a random occurrence but rather a clever publicity stunt aimed at promoting the Boys and Girls Exhibition set to take place at Alexandra Palace on March 10th. These monstrous creatures, brought to life through inflatable technology, epitomize both humor and awe-inspiring grandeur as they clash with each other amidst one of London's most renowned landmarks - Nelson's Column. The sheer scale and quirkiness of this event have drawn crowds from far and wide, turning heads and sparking conversations among passersby. It is an unusual sight indeed; witnessing these prehistoric giants crossing roads and engaging in mortal combat adds an element of whimsy to our everyday lives. As we delve into this nostalgic photograph by Alisdair Macdonald, it reminds us that even in the midst of urban chaos, unexpected moments can bring joy and wonderment. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when imagination took flight against all odds – reminding us that sometimes it takes something truly extraordinary to capture our attention amidst the hustle and bustle of city life.
