The stunning photography seen here showing the Emerald Isle is memorialized in a large, beautifully done coffee table book. This country is filled with scenery that ranges from peaceful to awesome. It is not surprising that a NY travel photographer with insight and talent wins awards for the coffee table books in which his photographs are featured.
The scenes along the coast that show the powerful ocean capture the senses. Pastoral pictures of sleepy villages give a sense of a leisurely life. Every facet of Irish life seems to be included, from race horses to ancient castles to large cathedrals.
Words from famous Irish writers of all genres are intermingled with the scenes. For someone being introduced to Irish history for the first time, these words make the photographs understandable. For those who are already familiar it simulates a journey down memory lane.
Professional reviewers have remarked that it is the most impressive coffee table book as well as a major travel book. On its pages lie the very spirit of Ireland and the Irish people. It brings the past and present together in one tome. A timeless collection of the coastline stands next to a modern city and its buildings.
The verdant grasses along the coast testify to the appropriateness of the name Emerald Isle. Quiet fishing villages lie in vivid contrast to details of the rugged cliffs on the Atlantic coast. The busy cities are sometimes a surprising contrast of the stonework of old buildings and modern ones such as the Spire of Dublin.
With the turning of each page, the reader is taken from ancient castles and Paleolithic monuments to charming little pubs in friendly little towns. You see why poets were inspired by these scenes when you view them up close. Ireland is presented in all its detailed glory. This and any other coffee table book published with this photographers work is truly a timeless treasure.
