Long Island
"This Island situated on the West Cork coastline, near the village of Schull, has long held a fascination for me. This beautiful place is dotted with many, almost identical cottages laying testament to the time when it had over 300 inhabitants. Now a population of approximately 12 reside here, with many cottages now in ruins. The peacefulness that surrounds you when on the Island is meditative. The colour surrounds whether from wild flowers, the sea or the paint peeling from the remaining cottages." - Helen O'Keeffe
