Photography by Gilbert Lennox


Thanks for stopping by!
My name is Gilbert Lennox and I live in Ireland, a few minutes drive from one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, with its sandy beaches, rugged headlands, breathtaking cliffs and the famous Giant’s Causeway.
My main photographic interest lies in the creation around us, from the immensity of the night sky to the minute delicacy of fungi on the forest floor. My joy in these things is enriched by the conviction that such diverse and intricate beauty is not an accidental byproduct of unguided, impersonal forces, but a reflection of the brilliance, power and beauty of the God who created the heavens and the earth.
There is much brokenness in the world. There is also beauty. There is pain and despair. There is also joy and hope. There is a bigger story than the one we are often told. If I can communicate even a hint of that story through my photographs I am more than content.
If you have any questions about my photography or if you would like to purchase a photographic print, please get in touch!
Best wishes
Gilbert
As an incentive to keep getting out into the landscape I had planned this year to do a ‘photo of the month’ blog, telling the story of my favourite photos. So here I am, March already, just getting started. Ah well, better late than never.
The weather, as ever, has been a little upside down. January and February are supposed to be Winter months, while March heralds the start of Spring. Yet early March has proved much colder than most of our Winter.
Have you ever seen the movie Frequency? A sci-fi thriller, shot 24 years ago, featuring Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel as a father and son in which, due to an ‘atmospheric anomaly’, the detective son has the opportunity to reach back through time to change the tragedy that befell his firefighter father thirty years previously. The atmospheric anomaly was the Aurora Borealis.
February was a grey month. Day after day when we didn’t see the sun. It was perhaps as well for my sanity that I spent most of the month finishing the first draft of a new book. I will keep you in suspense…
Opportunities for landscape photography were therefore doubly scarce. But I managed a few.
Early in the month I took myself off to Donegal and the restored hill fort of Grianan of Aileach, with its spectacular views over Lough Swilly and the vast sweep of Donegal on all sides.
