A collection of photographs from the beaches of Brittas Bay, Magherabeg and Magheramore County Wicklow. 

Featuring Haiku by the poet Tony Curtis with an introduction by Richard Nairn (author of Ireland's Coastline 2005).

At certain times, such as after high winds and tides, the sands on the beach are shaped into beautiful abstract formations, the lack of scale giving the feeling that they could be pictures of the Earth from space, or of other planets. They are in most cases a square meter or two of sand at my feet.

Liam Blake was born in Dublin and developed a keen interest in photography at an early age. An award winning photographer, Liam works almost exclusively in Ireland and his work for Real Ireland Design was responsible for ushering in a new worldwide appreciation of the beauty of Ireland through its ranges of postcards, calendars, books and posters. 

He is the author of several photographic books and has exhibited his work in galleries throughout Ireland. 

This calendar has been produced utilising a fine art printing process which renders the images in a much higher resolution more akin to a photographic print. There is information about the Book of Kells on each page.

The book of Kells dates from c.800 A.D. and contains the four Gospels in Latin.

Now measuring 33 x 25.5 cm having been trimmed and rebound in the 19th century. It is written on vellum and the Gospel texts are prefaced with Canon Tables and characterisations of the Evangelists.

What makes the Book of Kells unique are the lavish illustrations intertwined with the text with the intention of glorifying God's creations. THEIR are many full pages containing decorations and symbols such as for the Cannon Tables.

The book was illustrated by what appears to have been four artists whose work has been likened to that of goldsmiths. A number of pigments were used including arsenic sulphate for yellow, red lead or an unidentified organic matter for red and blue was created from indigo or woad.

The Book of Kells was probably used for special ceremonial occasions rather than for daily services. This conclusion has been reached as the transcription of the text was sumptuous but also rather careless with some entire words having been omitted. In other sections texts have been repeated and subsequently painted over to hide the error.

Now bound into four volumes two of which are usually on view in the Old Library at Trinity College Dublin (one showing  a decorated page and the other text), the Book of Kells attracts in excess of 800,000 visitors a year.

The Irish Pub is a unique institution, without any real equivalent elsewhere. Some may speak of Irish Christianity or literature as being the great contribution of our wet little island to the greater world beyond these shores. The true connoisseur of Irish culture knows, however, that these are pale shadows compared to the worldwide influence of our public houses and alcoholic beverages.

“Those who don’t know Irish pubs, and the interesting people who frequent them, will always possess only a superficial knowledge of Irish life and culture. The Irish pub is not only an excellent guide to many attractive centres of celebration; it is also a helpful and civilised introduction to higher education in a convivial atmosphere. This is a necessary text for all those in search of enlightenment and laughter.”

The Singing Swans

The singing swans were the children of the king, Lir of the Tuatha Dé Danann, who married a war-witch named Aoife. Jealous of his children by a previous wife she transformed them all into swans. Lir had a harpist play to the children in swan form as they nested on Lough Darravaragh while awaiting reincarnation to human form over 400 years of exile.

Education is not the filling of a pail, but rather the lighting of a fire.

This hand-picked collection of over 1,000 traditional proverbs and sayings of the Irish people, includes contributions from: Samuel Beckett, Brendan Behan, Bono, St. Patrick and many others.

Irish proverbs and sayings represent aspects of Irish culture and history passed down through the oral tradition over centuries. They have been used to help navigate the challenges of life for many. They often originated in rural communities where the unwritten laws of reliance on neighbours and dealing with authority may have made the difference between life and death. Now however, they are appreciated for the wealth of wit and wisdom they contain.
