"Timepieces of Ireland"

Ireland is elemental. Sunrise reveals dawn's light streaming over the timeless artifacts of its people.
As dusk falls down, fundamentals are revealed.
The very essence of Europe's culture emerges. The poetic light ages, slowly retreating
as shadows become one.
It is so quiet . . .

David Lee Black photographs the vanishing time of County Clare in the West of Ireland.
Some of Black's friends have passed, but while he knew them, it was all too clear that they were people in the vanishing time of their own lives. They lived most of their life in an enchanted sense of field and farm, family, friends, music and story.

Oh, but those stories  . . .
