Captivating and timeless, the sea has always held a special place in our hearts. From the Jubilee Procession in a Cornish Village to the mesmerizing silhouette of little blue penguins against Melbourne city lights, its allure knows no bounds. As depicted in A. G. Sherwood Hunter's artwork or Al-Idrisi's world map from 1154, the sea has been an endless source of inspiration for artists and explorers alike throughout history. Transporting us back to bygone eras, vintage posters like Cornwall's GWR poster from 1938 or Aberdeen - The Silver City by the Sea evoke a sense of nostalgia and wanderlust. Meanwhile, iconic masterpieces such as 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa' remind us of nature's power and beauty. Whether it be surfers riding waves on Perranporth beach in 1922 or witnessing rough seas at d Ar-Men lighthouse during Storm Ruth on Ile de Sein, Armorique; the sea offers both excitement and tranquility. Clevedon Pier stands tall as a testament to human engineering marvels that harmoniously blend with coastal landscapes. In this countdown towards COP26, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect these vast waters that connect us all. Let us cherish every wave that crashes upon our shores and strive towards sustainable practices for future generations to enjoy this magnificent gift bestowed upon us – the ever-changing sea.
