Description:
Another image from the TG4 programme 'I bhFócas', this was made on Tory Island from the prominence on the eastern end of the island known as Balor's Fort.
This is the highest point on the island and has a narrow choke point separating it from the rest, making it a natural strong point. It was from here that the mythical Balor of the Evil Eye defended himself and the island from all attackers.
The view here is to the west, with the island stretching away into the distance. The lighthouse on the western end can just be made out in the distance as a sunburst illuminates the Western Village.
This image was made on an camera modified to take pictures in the infra-red part of the spectrum, which lends a certain brooding sense to this scene, which suits the atmosphere of the Fort.
