Letters from the Landscape
I made this photograph on a clear night with a warm glow sitting low on the horizon behind the hills. Long exposure pulled the cloud movement into soft streaks across the stars while the oratory itself held perfectly still. It would, of course. It's been doing that for a very long time.
The layered stonework catches the ambient light beautifully, each flat slab visible in the darkness. That narrow doorway facing almost due west gives the whole structure a quiet intensity against the night sky!

Yes. A framed size is the whole frame, edge to edge: 3 inches bigger each way than the print inside it. An unframed size is the sheet of paper, including the white border where I sign and title each print by hand. Canvas and Floating Panel sizes are the face of the piece.

On a trip to Ireland several years ago I was able to get out to the Dingle Peninsula and saw the Gallarus Oratory, a small chapel built in the 12th century or perhaps even before this time. We were able to go into this small structure and marvelled at how well it had held up. One stone laid carefully on top of another stone. I thought of people who might have huddled here centuries ago for shelter or prayer, a safe place for them. You see some movement of the clouds relative to the stars that are holding their place in the sky and this animates the structure and its surroundings. Now this beautiful picture hangs on a wall in my home in Florida and I get to experience the feelings I had when I first saw the Gallarus Oratory.
Beautiful photos and great service. Special memories of places we visited in Ireland.
