A low-angle shot of the grey stone ruins of Bective Abbey under a clear, pale blue sky. To the left, a tall, square defensive tower stands intact, while the central walls feature arched windows and weathered textures. To the right, a tall, slender deciduous tree with sparse, drooping branches silhouetted against the light reaches towards the top of the frame. A dark wooden fence runs along the bottom, and the overall mood is peaceful, historic, and slightly melancholic.
Stepping back in time at Bective Abbey, Co. Meath. They filmed scenes from The Last Duel with Matt Damon here.

Image: Mark Francis: Oscillator I, 2025 Oil on canvas 183 x 153 cm | there are maybe up to 50 notional vertical bars in this image, each of them containing some colour, often stain-like, usually towards the vertical centre; the effect is like seeing a bunch of people through a distorting sheet of glass, looking at a bit of x-ray spectroscopy, or bands of DNA • "Solstice Arts Centre is delighted to announce TRACING ECHOES, a major exhibition by acclaimed Irish artist Mark Francis. Known for his dynamic and visually arresting paintings, Francis creates works charged with movement, sound, and rhythm. His practice combines intense sequences of colour within tightly gridded structures, generating a compelling tension between order and chaos. There is an agitation in Francis’s work - a pulse, a vibration - as if the forms and colours are trying to break free, bleed into one another, or shift beyond their boundaries. His longstanding engagement with science provides fertile ground for…”

photo side-on of a puffin with a mouthful of small fish who do look surprised; mostly yellow background, some blurred grass in the foregroud • “Meath County Council Arts Office presents Wildlife Encounters Through the Lens, an exhibition of work by award winning photographer Tom Ormond. This exhibition showcases the variety and beauty of some of the birds and animals that award-winning photographer Tom Ormond has encountered along his way. Tom Ormond took up nature photography a few years ago, and since then he has had some of the most amazing experiences both observing and photographing wildlife. Whether it's puffins on the Great Saltee Islands or mountain hares in the Cairngorms, his interest in both nature and photography has combined to allow him to capture these images and the memories associated with them. Half of the images in this exhibition were photographed in his garden near Ratoath in Co. Meath and the other half were photographed further afield in Ireland and the…”

A forest walk on a very wet, humid day. Moss covered trees each side of a leaf strewn path.
A little further on over the hill. Trees each side of the path with an old stone wall completely covered in bright green moss. Leaf litter all around.
Moss so bright it almost looks fake. The result of five weeks rain at Mullaghmeen in Co. Meath, Ireland.
