The eyeball-caressing landscape photography of Marc Adamus: above and below ground at the glaciated Alaska Boundary Range (pix 1,2), hurricane winds at Torres Del Paine in Chile, a remote canyon in Utah’s Escalante and a lily-strewn woodland on the California coast.
From 1989, an ad for the TV licence starring Owen Roe.
A groundbreaking PSA that also tackled issues facing the breadwinner in a same sex relationship.
Good times.

Rugged. Distinctive. Dramatic.
Derek Mooney is all these things.
Karen Fitzpatrick writes;
The RTÉ Cork series Secrets of the Irish Landscape, presented by Derek Mooney which was broadcast on RTÉ One last May, has won gold at the final of one of the world’s most prestigious film and television competitions – the New York World’s Best Film and Television Awards 2014, for the best documentary series in science and technology, competing against entries from 36 countries. The three-part series follows in the footsteps of Robert Lloyd Praeger, Ireland’s greatest naturalist and author of the iconic book ‘The Way That I Went’.
Fair play though in fairness.
