EDITORS COMMENTS
Whales - Despite the rain, spectators made their way to Wood Street, Cardiff today to witness a truly awe-inspiring sight. Standing tall and proud amidst the downpour, an enormous mammoth of the seas captured everyone's attention. This magnificent creature, known as 'Jonah, ' measured a staggering 65 feet in length and weighed a mind-boggling 70 tons. The year was 1954, and this remarkable exhibition brought together people from all walks of life who were eager to catch a glimpse of this majestic whale. Despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions, nothing could dampen the spirits of those who had gathered on that memorable day. As Jonah towered over them, spectators couldn't help but feel humbled by its sheer size and power. It was as if they were transported into another world – one where nature reigned supreme and humans were mere observers. Wood Street became a sanctuary for both curiosity seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. The presence of Jonah served as a reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity and reminded us how small we are in comparison to these gentle giants. Decades have passed since that rainy July day in 1954, but the memory remains etched in the minds of those fortunate enough to witness it firsthand. Today, this photograph print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with these magnificent creatures that roam our oceans.
