Memories
Poisoned Glen, County Donegal, IRELAND
I am a big fan of ruins such as castles and churches! And this church probably is one of the most beautiful one I have seen! It is located at a pretty amazing spot right next to Mount Errigal in County Donegal. It is named Poisoned Glen...really? How can a church be named poisoned? I did ask a really nice local guy I met one evening and he told me some pretty interesting stories about it! According to a legend, it got its name when the One Eyed Giant King of Tory, Balor, was killed here by his exiled grandson, Lughaidh, whereupon the poison from his eye split the rock and poisoned the glen...interesting isn’t it? There is another less interesting but also more realistic story that says it was accidentally named that way because of a pronunciation mistake made a long time ago. The locals know the church as An Gleann Neamhe which means The Heavenly Glen but when an English cartographer mapped the area, it was given the name An Gleann Neimhe which literally translates to Poisoned Glen! I wasn’t told why the name wasn’t later changed...but I think it’s a cool name anyway!

Acrylic Face Mounted Premium Fine Art Non-Reflective Finish
Definitely a favorite of mine! First of all, it looks absolutely gorgeous! It’s a very slick and modern looking product! Metallic paper is used as a medium on which the image is first printed. This type of paper makes the colors of the image look deeper and more vibrant! With my Acrylic Face Mounted Premium Fine Art Prints, the print itself is sandwiched between a clear 1/8″ acrylic and a 1/8″ aluminum backing. The addition of the acrylic in front of the print adds so much depth to the image, giving it an almost 3D feel. It’s not a 3D print…but the acrylic gives an effect of depth. On the back of the Artwork is a mounted aluminium backing on which a slim square aluminium frame will be mounted. This frame not only serves at adding rigidity to the Artwork but it also allows us to install all the necessary mounting hardware for a super easy and hassle free ready to hang installation to your wall. If you plan on hanging you investment in a reflection sensitive area, NON-REFLECTIVE is definitely the way to go! As the name says, NON-REFLECTIVE basically means it will be reflection free.

The mounting process is the same as the NON-REFLECTIVE FINISH except we use a CLEAR ACRYLIC instead of a non reflective one. You will have some reflections with clear acrylic but the blacks will also be slightly deeper. The same Metallic paper will be used as a medium.
