EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional Irish boating culture along the tranquil waters of the River Shannon in Limerick during the 1980s. The old Irishman, dressed in a dark suit and cloth cap, stands determinedly in his small rowing boat, handling an oar with a firm grip. His furrowed brow and grumpy expression suggest that he may not be in the best of moods, but his skillful handling of the boat belies his apparent bad temper. The boat, a dinghy or punt, is a common sight on the River Shannon, and this image beautifully encapsulates the quiet, unassuming charm of rural Ireland in the late 20th century. Taken in 1989 by renowned photographer Philip Dunn, this photograph was first published in The Sunday Times and remains a cherished reminder of a bygone era. The landscape format of the image allows us to fully appreciate the serene beauty of the river and the natural surroundings, making it a must-have for anyone with an interest in Irish history, culture, or scenic photography.
