EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view of Malpas, as it looks upriver towards the enchanting town of Truro from Tregothnan landing in St Michael Penkivel, Cornwall. The year is 1975, and the lens of photographer Charles Woolf expertly frames this picturesque scene. A multitude of small boats gracefully dot the tranquil river, their colorful presence adding vibrancy to the serene waters. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia, transporting us back to a simpler time when water transport played an integral role in connecting communities along the Fal River. These vessels serve as humble witnesses to countless journeys embarked upon by locals and visitors alike. As we delve into this image further, we are reminded of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. The ferry service that once operated between Tresillian and Malpas comes to mind – an essential link for those seeking passage across these gentle waters. Joyce Greenham's name accompanies Charles Woolf's on this remarkable piece; perhaps she too was captivated by its beauty or contributed her expertise in capturing such stunning imagery. Let us appreciate this snapshot not only for its aesthetic value but also for its ability to transport us through time and evoke fond memories of Cornwall's idyllic landscapes. May it remind us all that sometimes it is through stillness that we truly find our peace amidst life's constant ebb and flow.
