EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Paul Ellis, we are transported to the picturesque shores of New Brighton in north-west England. The image showcases a serene moment as people leisurely walk along the sandy beach at the mouth of the River Mersey. However, what truly steals the spotlight is the decommissioned Perch Rock lighthouse standing tall in all its glory. Thanks to the efforts of local businesses, funds have been raised to illuminate this historic landmark that has stood since 1830. Once a guiding light for sailors navigating treacherous waters, it remained operational until October 1973. The juxtaposition of nature and man-made marvels creates an enchanting scene that beckons visitors from near and far. As couples stroll hand-in-hand on this idyllic beach, they are greeted by not only breathtaking views but also a piece of British maritime history. Paul Ellis's skillful composition captures both the tranquility and grandeur of this location with remarkable precision. The horizontal frame perfectly encapsulates every element within its borders – from the shimmering river to the sandy shoreline and finally culminating in Perch Rock lighthouse itself. This photograph serves as a testament to Britain's rich heritage while inviting us to explore its hidden gems like New Brighton – where time seems suspended amidst natural beauty and historical landmarks alike.
