EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant Fish Quay in Padstow Harbour, Cornwall, during the summer of 1968. The image beautifully captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the essence of this charming coastal town. In the foreground, we see a quaint fishing boat drawn up on the quay with its weathered wooden hull proudly displaying a sign that reads "Coastal Cruises". This simple yet inviting offer hints at the adventures awaiting those who dare to explore beyond Padstow's shores. The boat seems ready to embark on an exciting journey into the vastness of the sea. The composition is further enhanced by Charles Woolf's skilled photography, as he expertly frames this scene against a backdrop of picturesque cottages and buildings lining the harbor. Their Cornish charm adds character and authenticity to this snapshot from another era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to an era synonymous with freedom and exploration - the swinging sixties. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when life seemed less complicated and full of endless possibilities. Through this image, Woolf has captured not only a physical location but also an atmosphere filled with joy and excitement. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our fast-paced modern world, there will always be places like Padstow Harbour where one can find solace in nature's beauty and embrace their adventurous spirit along Cornwall's stunning coastline.
