EDITORS COMMENTS
Cushendun and Garron Point, Co. Antrim: A Timeless Scene from the Early 1900s Nestled in the heart of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, lies the picturesque village of Cushendun, with its iconic Garron Point jutting out into the Irish Sea. This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, showcases a view that has remained largely unchanged over the past century. The rugged coastline, with its towering cliffs and crashing waves, is a testament to the raw beauty of the Irish landscape. In this image, the foreground is brought to life by traditional hay stooks, which add a touch of rustic charm to the scene. The stooks, which are round bundles of hay, were a common sight in rural areas during the harvest season. They served as a practical way to store and dry the hay, ensuring it would be ready for use during the winter months. As your eyes wander from the hay stooks to the distant horizon, the vast expanse of the sea and sky merge together, creating a breathtaking tableau. The village of Cushendun, with its quaint cottages and winding streets, can be seen nestled at the foot of the cliffs. The village, which dates back to the 16th century, has a rich history and is steeped in folklore. This photograph is a reminder of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace and the natural world held a greater sway over daily life. It is a testament to the enduring beauty of the Irish countryside and the simple pleasures that can be found in the most unexpected places.
