In the picture

Sir, – What a stunning photograph (David Creedon, Time Present, September 21st) of two men fishing at dawn on Lough Allua, Co Cork. The roseate light, the hazy reflections in the still water, the peace, calm and tranquillity are a perfect antidote to these stressful times. – Yours, etc,

VERA HUGHES,

Moate, Co Westmeath.
