365 Days in Ireland Calendar 2008 (A Picture-a-day)
These are the wonders of Ireland: misty pastures and ancient dolmens. The cliffs of Slieve League. Lively seaside villages. A Bloomsday tour of Dublin. Sailboats clustered in Kinsale Harbor, the Galway Races, magnificent castle gardens, witty Guinness ads, medieval abbeys fallen to ruin, the Rock of Cashel, a swan drifting along the gentle Shannon. Combining the lyrical writing of novelist Colum McCann with hundreds of gorgeous photographs by Tim Thompson, 365 Days in Ireland celebrates the windswept beauty and indomitable spirit of the Emerald Isle, and captures the thread of magic that meanders through the whole of the land.
