Portrait of the Northern Ireland Coast
Portrait of the Northern Ireland Coast
Well it has been a lot of work, a lot of travel and a lot of fun and at long last I know that there is nothing more for me to do other than wait for my own copy of the book to arrive when it is published by Halsgrove on 15th October!

"Portrait of the Northern Ireland Coast" is the result of my own exploration of the coast. At times I was re-visiting places that I had been as a child and at other times I was discovering places anew. Some of the experiences are burned into my memory: midsummer around Lough Foyle and Magilligan Point with the almost magical light; seeing the sun rise on Easter Sunday morning at St John's Point; the many people who made the travelling far more sociable than I ever expected it to be. I can't know how other people will relate to the images in the book, but I hope that those who read it will experience some of the wonder and fascination that ran like a connecting thread through the whole project.

I'm busy finishing "Portrait of Mourne" and having more amazing experiences - "Portrait of Mourne" will be available in Spring 2010.

In the meantime "Portrait of the Northern Ireland Coast" is available for pre-order from Amazon.
