EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Beachy Head lighthouse, standing proudly near Eastbourne in southern England. The image, taken on September 1,2011, showcases the lighthouse against a picturesque backdrop of clear blue skies and tranquil waters. Trinity House, the organization responsible for maintaining this historic landmark, has recently announced that they will not be repainting it in its traditional red and white stripes. This decision comes as the lighthouse is no longer required as a daymark to guide ships safely along the coast. However, local MP Stephen Lloyd has expressed his desire to launch a fund-raising campaign to preserve its distinctive appearance. The Beachy Head lighthouse holds great significance both locally and nationally due to its rich maritime history. Its striking red and white stripes have become an emblematic sight for tourists visiting this scenic coastal area. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph by Luke MacGregor from Reuters Images, we are reminded of the delicate balance between preserving historical landmarks and adapting to changing needs. The beauty of this image lies not only in capturing the serene landscape but also in sparking contemplation about our responsibility towards safeguarding cultural heritage. Through this lens, we are invited to appreciate both the aesthetic allure of nature's wonders and recognize our duty to protect them for future generations.
