Ireland: A Luminous Beauty - A Luminous Beauty (Hardcover)

Island light is magical, and none more so than Ireland's. Ireland's light lures the senses with a restless presence, flooding the landscape from above and below the surface. The water surrounding and carving through the island reflects back to us the movement of light and shadow. It is as though an unseen hand directs the clouds, the wind, the light to harness our attention.
Images of the country--a land of contrasts--stay with us, firing our imaginations. Stop for a minute and the settings change: what was straight is bent, light is dark, still is in motion. The land itself whispers the cues. A mythic and mysterious landscape full of ritual and imagination leads us to that indelible sense of place that is Ireland.
From the icons and artifacts of the ancient world to the dramatic landscapes of the natural world, "Ireland: A Luminous Beauty" explores the spirit of this fascinating island with its magical light--a spirit rich with imagination and style. This spirit is everywhere: it moves our souls.
