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…

    I think he was lucky because normally the wind is howling there. And from where he was standing taking the photo he normally would have had a bovine powerwash.

    So that’s why the grass is so green. It’s always pissing down.

    Caption: Bugger off before I let wind in your direction. :)

    I should crop that and put a picture of Glasgow in the background! :) All I’ll say is that it is an industrial city. :)

    Woah now, brown cow.

    That cow really looks like she’s leaning into it, doesn’t she? Giving it all she’s got. I bent there’s a big dent in the ground there now. Wonder if she was angry.

    Brown cow: Jeeeezus! I’m melting! Is this Global Warming?

    Sorry to spoil all your fun, but that’s not actually the brown cow peeing, there’s a small child hidden behind it standing on the black cow’s back with a water pistol….
