Dolmen 1
(August, 2008)
Perhaps the most distinctive of
the dolmens in Ireland, I only got to visit it this summer
(2008) for the first time. It sits in a strange desolate area of
County Down, well off the beaten track. This is one of a number
of imposing shots of the monument, which I'm hoping to adapt for
a painting in the near future.

Abandoned
(1998)
An image that I've always found
very pleasing and intriguing. A cottage-like farm building
standing derelict at the side of a road in Newtownards Co. Down.
At the time the image was taken another larger building
similarly derelict stood across the road.
I was working on a project at
the time about abandoned dwellings. The stonework and wood was
intricate, rustic and compelling.
As of May 2006, the building
still stands in similarly dilapidated state.

Dolmen 2
(August, 2008)
There's an almost Lord of the
Rings quality to this monument. It stands as a gateway to
another world, appropriately enough at the end of a long country
lane, the opposite end of which we cannot see.

Electric
Railway
(June, 2008)
Arguable a cityscape, the
Electric Railway dominates the east coast of the Isle of Man,
the striking logo of the firm's name reminding me of the
"Hollywood" logo at the heart of LA's mythology.
Douglas is hardly big enough to
think of as a city, but industry and capitalism have made their mark
on the idyllic countryside.

Great Empires
Fall
(April, 2003)
Currently (as of 2008) going
through the first stages of a massive regeneration, the
landscape around the Belfast docks bears the hallmarks of the
old shipping industry. Factories lie empty and the debris is
strewn around, nature fighting back and reclaiming the ground
for itself.
This image was taken from inside
the vast space once filled with workers at Harland and Wolff.
