EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a quiet moment in the picturesque harbor town of Fowey, Cornwall, in the 1980s. The scene at Polruan Quay is one of tranquility and timeless beauty, as locals and visitors alike gather to watch the boats gently bobbing in the water. The boats, a mix of traditional fishing vessels and leisure craft, add to the rich maritime history of the area, which has long been an important part of Cornwall's industrial heritage. The quay, with its worn cobblestones and weathered buildings, exudes a sense of history and character that draws people in. The people in the photograph, dressed in casual attire typical of the era, seem to be lost in thought as they take in the view before them. Some sit on the edge of the quay, feet dangling in the water, while others lean against the railings, deep in conversation. The calm waters of the estuary reflect the clear blue sky above, creating a serene and idyllic setting. The rolling hills and lush greenery in the background add to the sense of peace and seclusion, making it a popular spot for those seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Cornwall's coastal towns and the simple pleasure of watching the boats come and go. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and the history that surrounds us.
