EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Coastal erosion 28893_049" captures the alarming reality of a holiday park under imminent threat from the relentless forces of nature. Taken by renowned photographer Dave MacLeod in 2016, this image showcases Withernsea, a picturesque coastal town nestled in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The scene is dominated by an awe-inspiring display of coastal erosion that looms perilously close to a once-thriving holiday camp. The sheer power and unpredictability of nature are vividly portrayed as the encroaching waves relentlessly devour large portions of land along the coast. As we gaze upon this striking print, our attention is drawn to the juxtaposition between man-made structures and their vulnerability against Mother Nature's unyielding force. The dilapidated buildings within the holiday park stand as silent witnesses to years of gradual erosion, serving as a stark reminder that even our most cherished human creations are subject to her whims. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph serves as an important historical document capturing a moment frozen in time. It prompts us to reflect on our relationship with nature and raises questions about sustainability and resilience in an ever-changing world. "Coastal erosion 28893_049" invites viewers to contemplate both beauty and destruction simultaneously – reminding us that while we may marvel at nature's grandeur, we must also acknowledge its capacity for upheaval and transformation.
