EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the rugged cliffs and crashing waves of Dollar Cove, near Lands End in Cornwall, the once mighty cargo ship, Nefeli, lies wrecked. The year was 1972, and the 70s were in full swing. The Nefeli, a merchant vessel of unknown company, had met its fate in this treacherous and beautiful corner of the Cornish coast. The image captures the raw power of the sea as it relentlessly batters the ship, its once sleek hull now a jumbled mess of twisted metal and shattered wood. Waves crash against the rocks, sending plumes of white foam into the air. The Nefeli, a mere shadow of its former self, is aground, a haunting reminder of the dangers that lurk just beneath the tranquil surface of the sea. The coastline around Lands End is known for its rugged beauty, but it is also notorious for its treacherous waters. The Nefeli, like many before it, had likely underestimated the power of the sea and paid the price. The image is a poignant reminder of the respect that must be given to the natural world, especially when navigating its most unforgiving corners. The Nefeli's wreckage now serves as a reminder of the past, a testament to the power of the sea and the ever-changing tides. The image captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history that tells a story of the past, while also serving as a reminder of the present and the importance of respecting the natural world around us.
