Collection Object
A Sunset in Ireland
A river starts at the bottom of the composition, taking up the foreground, and then winds back into the middle of the composition. A tree on the left bank of the river hangs down over the edge, its leaves almost touching the water. Reflections of the trees and banks can be seen along the edges of the river. In the background is a more heavily wooded area, and some birds can be seen in the sky. One bird is located in the middle of the sky, while a cluster of faintly depicted birds can be seen on the right. The edges of the composition mostly fade into simple hatching and line work, especially along the banks of the river in the bottom corners of the page, and where the trees meet the edges of the page on the left and right.
Collection Object
Nightwalkers, Dublin, Ireland
This photograph depicts a view of a snowy street at night.  Meandering in opposites directions, a man and woman are walking their dogs.

Subject matter
This photograph depicts a view of a coastal landscape in Northern Ireland. The North Atlantic coast runs along the right of the photograph, its waves breaking along the spits of grassy peninsulas that stretch into the water. This photograph was created from an elevated position on a hill. This hill is treeless, and is crossed by a web of ancient stone fences, that interconnect and spread outwards down the slope. Beyond this slope a handful of small, white houses dot the hills. These houses gleam brightly against the darkness of the foreground. The composition is divided down the middle by the horizon, and the sky above is filled with bulbous rainclouds. Bursting forth from behind the cloud bank, the sun’s rays rake through the stormy atmosphere down into the center of the photograph, illuminating the coastline.

Physical Description
This photograph depicts a view of a coastal landscape. A chain of stone walls and a few white houses dot the fields and the sunlight rakes through a cloudy sky.
