Description

Between the town of Castlerock and Downhill beach on the north coast of Ireland lies the nature reserve of Mussenden Demesne. The former country residence of the eccentric 18th century Earl Bishop, it features the ruins of a stately home built around the 1780's. Requisitioned by the RAF during the second world war it was abandoned in the 1950's and has since been taken over by the National Trust and is open to the public.

I took this photo just before sunrise on Good Friday one year, it features a monument close to the entrance of the demesne with the moon sitting proudly in the sky above. Shortly afterwards I was treated to a beautiful golden sunrise and photographed the iconic Mussenden Temple nearby.

Prints are printed on high grade Permajet lustre paper. All frames are made from Italian wood mouldings, glazed with high quality acrylic with a two inch mount and are ready to hang straight out of the box. Canvases are printed on premium Fujifilm canvas material coated with three layers of satin coat for added protection and stretched over one inch thick canvas frame. For more information on how I print and frame my work visit my Irish Landscape Photography page. Please note that the colour of both prints, canvases and frames may appear different than they do on screen; the watermark in the middle of my online images will not appear on prints and the aspect ratio of prints may appear different from the online image.
