Publication of the Month: Irlanda - bellezza terribile in QUI TOURING (Italy)
Qui Touring, published by Touring Club Italiano and Italy's largest travel magazine, selected exactly those photos that photographer Mick Palarczyk found most striking. The cathedral of old beach trees on the cover, pictured during a drizzle, shows that you don't always need beautiful weather to take a beautiful photograph. With the non-intrusive lay-out and maize-yellow as supporting colour - which doesn't show in the photo - Qui Touring sets quite an example in cover design. The lane of trees returns in the opening spread. It's a different shot, where the hiker is even smaller amidst the giants that are as alive as they are old. Apparently it was this that led the editor to the title.
