EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bob Battersby takes us back in time to the dramatic landscapes of France's Brittany region during World War II. The image showcases a formidable German fortification at the Pointe du Petit-Minou, strategically positioned at the entrance to the Straits of Brest just behind a towering lighthouse. The concrete and reinforced steel architecture of this WW2 fortification stands as a testament to the immense engineering efforts undertaken during one of history's darkest periods. The imposing Atlantic wall, stretching across Europe's coastlines, served as an intimidating barrier against potential invasions. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the resilience and determination displayed by both sides during World War II. The stark contrast between nature's beauty and man-made destruction is evident here; it serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, there remains an undeniable allure within these historical remnants. Bob Battersby has skillfully captured not only the physicality but also the emotional weight carried by such structures. This print invites us to reflect on our shared history while appreciating how far we have come since those tumultuous days. It encourages us to remember and learn from past events so that we may strive for peace and understanding in our present and future endeavors.
