A beautiful collection of over 130 stunning photographic images by acclaimed West Cork photographer Mike Brown.
Having published his first book “Ireland’s Wildlife – A Photographic Essay” to major critical acclaim in October 2002, Mike followed this up by creating a new set of images. In this second book, Mike explores some different styles of wildlife image with “movement” being a key. Some more abstract images appear in this collection also along with many new subjects.
The Foreword for the book is written by the late Eamon de Buitlear, Ireland’s legendary and best known wildlife filmmaker.
