Horizonless

We surge out to the cliffside from the shadows of a tunnel.   Our pulses suddenly outpace the rhythm of our train as we hurtle through space, sweeping across the open bay along the edge of a cliff.   Our senses are drenched in the horizonless expanse before us.

Our faces are pressed against the glass for fear of missing any of this endless symphony, arranged from a chorus of sand, sea and sky.

Daylight in Dublin Bow-tie
€165.00

The light rolls in over Dublin from the east, surveying the rippling waves of the river Liffey, weaving its way under and over the city's stone and iron bridges. The early-risers read their morning papers, crossing south to north and north to south, marching to the beat of their in-ear playlist...

Ancient leather-polished slabs of granite shimmer in the changing light, sheltering tiny flowers in their cracks, picked out in vivid electric green along with haloed canopies of gnarled Limes and London Plane trees overhead. But everything begins to give way to a somehow friendly cold blue light.

Sanctum Coccoon

This ornamental duck pond is the sole remnant of Dublin’s 1907 World Fair, when the now peaceful park was packed with 2,750,000 visitors. Today the pond, shaded by century-old trees is the home of fish, ducks, birds and plants, and a quiet refuge for Dubliners on their lunch break or afternoon off who sit with a book by its banks wondering what gives it its shocking shade of chartreuse green.
