EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print from 1954, we see a group of people basking in the warm afternoon sunshine on Roath Park Lake. The serene scene is made even more captivating by the presence of the lighthouse memorial standing tall in the background. This unique memorial holds a scale model of the Terra Nova ship, serving as a poignant reminder of Captain Scott's ill-fated expedition to Antarctica that began in Cardiff back in 1910. As we transport ourselves back to this summer day in Wales, it is evident that outdoor leisure activities were cherished by individuals seeking respite from their daily routines. The park provides an idyllic setting for families and friends to gather, connect with nature, and enjoy each other's company. The sun casts its gentle rays upon these happy faces as they relish every moment spent together. This photograph captures not only a snapshot of time but also serves as a testament to human resilience and exploration. It reminds us of our innate curiosity and desire to push boundaries beyond what is known or comfortable. As we gaze at this image today, let us reflect on the bravery and determination exhibited by explorers like Captain Scott while appreciating the simple joys found within our own local parks during those long-gone summers of yesteryear.
