EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Sanctuary Amidst the Sea: St Hywyn's Church and its Graveyard Overlooking Aberdaron Beach, North Wales (1980s) Amidst the rolling waves and golden sands of Aberdaron Beach on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales, St Hywyn's Church stands as a tranquil and timeless testament to the rich history and spiritual heritage of this picturesque coastal village. First published in The Sunday Times in 1989, this evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, where the boundary between land and sea seems to blur, inviting contemplation and reflection. The ancient stone church, with its distinctive bell tower reaching towards the heavens, has stood guard over the community for centuries. Its weathered walls, worn by the relentless winds and salt spray, bear silent witness to the passage of time. The graveyard, filled with tombs and tombstones, lies gently sloping above the beach, offering a serene and peaceful resting place for generations past. As the sun sets over the ocean, holidaymakers take a break from their seaside activities to explore the church and its history. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore creates a soothing symphony, providing a perfect backdrop for quiet contemplation. The cool, salty breeze carries the scent of the sea, mingling with the fragrance of wildflowers growing amongst the graves. This photograph, taken in the late 1980s, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the enduring connection between the natural beauty of the coast and the spiritual lives of those who have called Aberdaron home. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of human existence and the power of the natural world to inspire awe and wonder.
