British & Irish Landscape Portraits

British and Irish Landscape Portraits Sarah Carson, Photographs Dr. Jeremy Adams, Commentaries

At this moment in time, Great Britain and Ireland and their archipelago offer the alert viewer an uncommonly deep encounter with the traces of past cultures, as far back as six millennia ago. For whatever reason, be it accidents of history or policy or much less conscious habits of life, the Britons and the Irish of the last 6,000 years have allowed us moderns to read today more layers of their continuing experience than have the French or the Italians. In other words, we discern immediately the distinctively 20^th or 21st-century aspects of the British and Irish landscape, but we can also read much of the early modern and medieval and Roman features, and even go back as far as the Iron and Bronze ages. If we really know where to look, occasional glimpses of the Neolithic period as well are readable on the surface without the archaeologist’s spade. In France, we would almost have to be amateur archaeologists or have an aerial infrared photograph to see as much of the earlier layers of experience. The historic landscapes of the British Isles and Ireland offer uniquely rich and revealing messages.

A Tuscan Farm

I discovered Italy in 1993. Tuscany was my destination, and a large, old Tuscan farm became my ‘second home.’ Driving up the old dirt road to Montestigliano and reaching the numerous old buildings with rich colors clustered on the hillside was inspiring. Forty families lived and worked at Montestigliano since the 1760s.

By 1993, in addition to its farm crops and animals, it was an agriturisma. Many farm families had moved to the towns and villages so their empty houses were now rented by tourists. From my first visit I fell in love with the place, the views, and over time – with the people. Over the next 22 years I returned at least once a year, busy living there each time. In 2006, I collaborated with Susan Pennington, long time head of the Montestigliano Agriturisma on The Tuscan Farm. Susann’s insight and experiences and my photographs from my many visits became the Montestigliano story.
