Photograph of the year

Grandad May 24th, 2008

As some of you may know, I had a visit from President Jefferson Davis recently.

Not only is he a fine president, but he is also an exceptional photographer.

He took a trip to the Cliffs of Moher and while he was there, he took a lot of photographs.

He sent me this one.  It is of the Aran Islands which lie off the West Coast of Ireland.

I think it is a magnificent photograph.  It captures the mood of the place to perfection.  The photograph gives an essence of tranquility and inner release.  Note how the light glints on the water, capturing a moment in time that would otherwise be lost forever.  It encapsulates all that is beautiful about nature. 

I think it needs a caption though…
