In the world of landscape photography, nothing is ever the same twice. Wind, sea and colours all change with the seasons, right in front of our eyes and on our doorstep that is, Strangford Lough. A moment then to consider the absolute effort that goes into many, many hours of patient ‘weather watching’, an essential element in the realisation of this latest version of Bernie Brown’s evolving photographic exhibition.

Captured here, on a broadest of broad ‘photo canvas’, are the local worlds of our ancient heritage and modern environment, sitting side by side in silent monochrome and resplendent colour, as if perhaps designed to do so from the beginning of time.

There are many reasons why this exhibition just ’works’, including the startling yellows in ‘Comber spring’ and the most subtle sunray that perfectly frames the timeless monochrome in ‘Audleystown Cairn’.
