EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the simple pleasure of shelling mussels by the sea in the quaint fishing village of Cromarty, Scotland, in the year 1906. A woman, dressed in a long, flowing skirt and blouse, sits comfortably on a low stone wall, her legs crossed in front of her. She holds a large, white enamel bucket between her feet, its rim brimming with freshly harvested mussels. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, illuminating the woman's face as she focuses intently on the task at hand. In the background, the bustling street of Cromarty comes to life, with children playing and adults going about their daily business. The village, nestled on the shores of the Cromarty Firth, is known for its rich marine life, making mussel gathering a beloved pastime for its residents. The woman's peaceful expression and the tranquil setting convey the sense of connection to nature and community that comes with this traditional coastal activity. The photograph, taken in the summer of 1906, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time when the rhythms of the sea shaped daily life. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the natural world and the simple joys of spending time by the water.
