One of Ireland’s most published photographers and prolific author Carsten Krieger has just published his first e-book.
Carsten, who is best known for books like ‘This is the Burren’ and ‘Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way’, found himself – like many others – faced with the restrictions of the Covid-19 lockdown earlier this year.
Unable to work, he assigned himself to go out every day and make a few images within his 2km/5km travel radius. ‘Silent Spring’ is the result of these daily excursions, an intimate and personal view of the natural world.
‘Silent Spring’ is a 93-day journey exploring the nature of the Loop Head Peninsula in West Clare from the spring equinox to the summer solstice.
The e-book can be downloaded for free from Carsten’s websites here and here.
