His main themes are the flora and the habitats of his chosen home in Co. Clare. Carsten’s website is at http://www.irish-picturebook.com and a preview of his forthcoming book on the Burren can be seen at http://www.thefertilerock.com. His collection of Burren flora images was purchased by Clare County Library in 2003. Permission to use the text which accompanies these images was kindly provided by Shannon Development. The botanical details were written by Dr. E. Charles Nelson, an authority on Burren flora and author of several botanical books relating to the region. Clare County Library is grateful to both Shannon Development and Dr Nelson for their generosity and assistance.
