EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, captured by the talented George W. Hales, we are transported back to a stormy day in Hertfordshire on the 18th of March, 1947. The image showcases the aftermath of nature's fury as a telegraph pole stands tall amidst a chaotic scene of hay strewn about. The power of wind and storm is evident in every detail - from the twisted wires clinging desperately to the pole to the scattered hay that seems suspended mid-air. It is an eerie sight that leaves us in awe of both nature's destructive force and its ability to create such bizarre scenes. Hales' choice to present this photograph in black and white adds an element of timelessness and drama, emphasizing the stark contrast between light and shadow. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on the raw emotions evoked by this natural spectacle. As we gaze upon this striking image, it serves as a reminder of our vulnerability in the face of Mother Nature's might. Yet, there is also beauty hidden within her chaos – a testament to her ever-changing ways. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites contemplation about our place within the natural world. It reminds us that even amidst destruction, there is always resilience waiting for renewal.
