EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic steam ship Earnslaw gracefully moored in the serene waters of Lake Wakatipu, nestled in the picturesque town of Queenstown, New Zealand. The Earnslaw, aptly named after the mountain that overlooks this stunning lake, holds a significant place in maritime history as it is the sole remaining passenger-carrying coal-fired steamship in the Southern Hemisphere. The image showcases the timeless beauty and elegance of this horizontal vessel, exuding an air of nostalgia and charm. Its towering smokestacks stand tall against a backdrop of breathtaking natural scenery, creating a harmonious blend between man-made engineering marvels and Mother Nature's wonders. Photographer Paul Ellis skillfully captures every intricate detail with precision and artistry. The play of light on the boat's polished exterior highlights its rich history while also illuminating its present-day significance as a beloved tourist attraction. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported back to an era where steamships ruled these tranquil waters. It serves as a reminder that amidst our fast-paced modern world, there are still remnants of bygone eras waiting to be discovered and cherished. Paul Ellis' lens has masterfully frozen this moment in time for us to admire and appreciate – an homage to both human ingenuity and nature's awe-inspiring beauty.
