EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 23rd of December, 1996, capturing a haunting scene that tells a story of resilience and perseverance. The image showcases "The remains of Eston Dry Ski slope" located in the enchanting Eston Hills Ski Village. Once a vibrant hub for ski enthusiasts, this ski slope now stands as a testament to the power of nature and the indomitable spirit of those who once thrived here. In this snapshot from the 1990s, we witness the aftermath of a devastating fire that ravaged through this beloved sporting destination. The charred remnants stand tall against an ominous sky, their damaged structures serving as silent witnesses to past glories and cherished memories. Stephen Elliot's masterful composition captures both beauty and tragedy within one frame. The stark contrast between light and shadow evokes a sense of melancholy while highlighting the strength found amidst destruction. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded that even in times when our world seems engulfed by flames, hope can still emerge from ashes. This poignant image transports us back to an era when dry skiing was at its peak popularity—a time when families gathered on these slopes to experience exhilaration together. It serves as an enduring reminder that no matter how fragile our creations may seem, they hold within them stories worth preserving for generations to come.
