The Life of The Lough

®

This exhibition is unique. It is unique for many reasons including the fact that the strength and the peace created in this exhibition space comes directly from the power of the people living and working in the watery townlands of the soil, sea, wildlife and islands of Strangford Lough.

This very special part of East Ulster is truthfully captured by environmental photographer Bernie Brown and combines landscape and portrait work in an eclectic ‘image-mix’.

The people featured are real, all having very real connections with the Lough and this stunning landscape is one of the best kept secrets in Northern Ireland. The rolling drumlins and the smell of salt water and freshly cut hay effuse from this insightful collection which above all, speaks quietly, eloquently and powerfully…..for itself.

The exhibition was launched in April 2010 and ran until Oct 2012 including a visit to the Milwaukee Irish Fest USA. Please see venues above.
