It's a sort of homage to Herbert List's 1937 photograph. A honeysuckle slip in a bottle beside the outdoor eating area of Baid?n restaurant in Clifden, Co. Galway overlooking the Atlantic. The Alcock & Brown 1919 landing site for the very first non-stop transatlantic flight is about 4km from this bottle. They flew eastwards across the ocean in a Vickers Vimy and saw what they thought was a verdant green landing strip beside the Marconi radio station. Unfortunately, it was a bog.? Luckily they weren't hurt. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Honeysuckle+in+bottle.jpg.html Can be seen larger. Sony A7 and 55/1.8 Sonnar. Douglas
