EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in the Arctic wilderness of Norway. In this image, an old coal train stands proudly amidst a snowy landscape, surrounded by majestic fjords and towering mountains. The scene is set in Ny Alesund, a remote settlement on Spitsbergen Island in Svalbard. The black and white color palette adds to the vintage charm of this photograph, evoking nostalgia for a time when steam trains were the lifeline of transportation in these rugged terrains. The tranquil waters of the fjord reflect the beauty of nature's untouched splendor. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a world where time seems to stand still. The cold temperatures and pristine snow create an atmosphere that is both serene and inhospitable at once. It reminds us of the raw power and unforgiving nature of Arctic landscapes. Eleanor Scriven/Robert Harding has skillfully captured this breathtaking moment, showcasing not only the natural beauty but also highlighting Norwegian culture through its reliance on coal mining as an integral part of their history. This print serves as a reminder that even in our modern age, there are still places where tradition meets untamed wilderness – where old-fashioned modes of transport coexist with stunning natural landscapes. It invites us to explore and appreciate these hidden gems tucked away in Europe's northernmost reaches.
