EDITORS COMMENTS
The statue of Eros in Piccadilly Circus stands frozen in time, encapsulating the enchanting aftermath of a chilly Christmas. This photo print, captured by Alisdair MacDonald on the 28th of December 1970, transports us back to the wintry wonderland that once adorned this iconic London landmark. As if touched by Jack Frost's magical fingertips, Eros is veiled in a glistening coat of ice. The delicate details of his sculpted form are accentuated by this unexpected transformation, creating an ethereal and mesmerizing sight. Against the backdrop of bustling Piccadilly Circus, where usually vibrant lights and energetic crowds dominate the scene, this frozen moment offers a serene contrast. The festive spirit lingers in every icy crevice as we imagine the joyous celebrations that took place just days before. The air is filled with anticipation for the New Year ahead as visitors pass by, their breath visible against the crisp winter sky. This photograph not only captures a unique weather phenomenon but also serves as a reminder of how seasons shape our experiences and memories. It invites us to reflect on our own cherished moments during wintertime – from cozy gatherings with loved ones to strolls through frost-kissed streets. Alisdair MacDonald's skillful lens has immortalized this extraordinary snapshot from history; it now serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a nostalgic portal into Christmases past.
