New photo book on the Burren
-
A new photo book on the Burren, that famous limestone karst landscape in the West of Ireland, has been published by the Collins Press, titled “The Fertile Rock – Seasons in the Burren”. It is available in all good bookshops or directly from the publisher: http://www.collinspress.ie
Friend has seen the book in a bookshop in Cork, will be purchasing a copy tomorrow.
Its a super book, have been browsing it around town recently. I promise i will buy it before Christmas. Well done.
I’ve just spent the last hours leafing through this book. Fantastic! Really wonderful book! Some of the best irish landscape photography I’ve seen easily. I think the best shots compare favourably with Tom Kelly’s work in “Legendary Ireland”. Particular favourites were;
. The ix- x double spread shot of Mullaghmore with the lough. Pity about the s. imposed text! A wonderful shot though.
. The leftmost shot of Keelhilla on page 136. Would love to see it larger. Superb shot.
. All four shots on 132-133 are stunning. Particulary the two large overcast lake shots. Just so mystical and evocative.
. All of the shots on spread 112-113 are wonderful, but most of all the 112 top pavement shot. Entrancing.
Well I could really go on far too long here so I’ll stop now. The whole book is fabulous.
Here is another one to check out. Its one of the best Irish based photography books I have seen. I have seen it around town (Waterstones)but its very expensive. Its about half the price on Amazon.
