EDITORS COMMENTS
A Curious Ear at the Edge of Ireland's Past: A Donkey Listens In, County Clare, Ireland (1990) In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the large, pricked ears of a donkey poke over a weathered corrugated iron fence, revealing a keen listener eavesdropping on the world beyond. The image, captured in County Clare, Ireland, in the 1990s, transports us back to a simpler time, where the rhythm of rural life unfolds at a gentle pace. Photographer Philip Dunn expertly frames the donkey's ears against the backdrop of the rustic fence, its rough texture contrasting with the smooth, expressive curves of the animal's ears. The image invites us to ponder the mysteries of the countryside, as the donkey, with its unassuming presence, seems to be the only sentient being privy to the secrets that the wind carries. The photograph, set in the picturesque County Clare, is a testament to the rich tapestry of the Irish countryside. The region's rugged beauty, marked by its rolling hills, stone cottages, and the Atlantic Ocean, has long captivated artists and travelers alike. This image, a snapshot of a moment in time, offers a glimpse into the everyday life of County Clare, where the natural world and its inhabitants continue to coexist harmoniously. As we gaze upon the donkey's curious ears, we are reminded of the power of observation and the importance of being present in the moment. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures that can be found in the most unexpected places, inviting us to pause, listen, and appreciate the beauty of the world around us.
