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
I always find it challenging to photograph the landscape in summer. Crazy sunrise and sunset times, atmospheric haze and, most importantly, time with the grandkids! (Not forgetting other commitments such as New Horizon.) Now that autumn is in full swing, hours of daylight have rapidly decreased and children are back in school I have started to venture out once more.
The highlight of this month’s adventures in the landscape took place unexpectedly after a failed shopping trip with my wife. But more of that later!
There is a magic moment - a magic few days in fact - that all lovers of the outdoors look forward to each year: peak autumn colour (or fall colour for my American friends). It is the time for wandering amongst the trees, especially beech, oak, birch and maple. Since I live in one of the least forested countries in Europe, that poses a problem. Many years ago more than 80% of Ireland was covered with trees. By 1925 that was down to around 1%. Lush oak woods were everywhere. Now only a few small patches of the ancient forest remains.
