EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring natural phenomenon known as the Mascaret (tidal bore) of the Seine in Normandy, France. People are gathered along the riverbank at Caudebec-en-Caux, watching in fascination as the powerful wave surges towards them.
Historically, this tidal bore was a source of danger and destruction, causing the loss of many ships during large spring tides. However, thanks to dredging and precautionary measures implemented during the 1960s, the mascaret is now less problematic and easier to manage.
The image depicts a moment frozen in time - a snapshot of both nature's raw power and human resilience. The equinox brings strong currents that create these impressive waves, drawing spectators from far and wide to witness this unique spectacle.
As we gaze upon this scene from 1903 captured by Rights Managed photography, we can't help but feel a sense of history unfolding before our eyes. The French landscape provides a stunning backdrop for this display of nature's forces at work.
In conclusion, this print serves as a reminder of both the dangers and beauty inherent in our world's natural phenomena. It invites us to reflect on our relationship with water, history, and the ever-changing environment around us.
