Portal - Otherworldy Wonders of Ireland's Bogs, Wetlands and Eskers
My current book ‘Portal’ is published since May 25th 2022, and is currently out of print at the publishers Currach Books. There are still plenty of copies available in many good bookshops across Ireland, online copies available at. Charlie Byrne's Bookshop , signed copies at Ennis Bookshop Photo Museum Ireland and An Siopa Gaeilge, aswell as many local bookshops.
The 172 page hardback book is an immersive visual exploration through the realms of unique flora and fauna within Ireland’s bogs, wetlands and eskers, revealing the hidden gems that have lived and evolved for millennia.
Bogs are magical places that defy any distinction between land and water. They are the last true wildernesses in Western Europe and are home to extraordinary plant and animal species that have adapted in this unique environment to survive.
Tina Claffey has been exploring these wondrous bogs through the seasons with a macro lens, which captures this enchanted wilderness in its minuteness, seeing beyond what the human eye is capable of. Carnivorous plants with their sticky tentacles, sphagnum mosses frozen in time in the deep bog pools, ancient water creatures exploring their depths, kaleidoscopes of colour through dewdrops on the backs of wondrous insects. A wilderness on our doorstep that looks otherworldly.
