TITLE: Millennium Tree

This image was captured in Rathbarry in West Cork, Ireland. I walk past this tree on my daily walk and when I was in the middle of photographing the tree, the owner informed me that they planted it on New Year's Day, year 2000.

Photography is my escape and my passion. I use long exposures & minimalism to capture not what is there but what I see. Photography lets me experience nature at its most beautiful and living in Clonakilty, West Cork, Ireland, I am surrounded by endless beauty and inspiration. I love seeing my images come full circle from conception, to capture, to editing and finally to print.
