He displays more than 280 beautiful photographs portraying the Irish landscapes and 70 poems where the beauty of these places become visible.
The poems, which are great masterpieces, evoke curiosity in the audience, inviting them to discover the wonderful places which are reflected in every word.
Thielmann wrote these poems after a trip to Ireland, where he was enchanted not only by the beauty of its landscapes, but also by its history and culture. What he experienced during his visit to the island gave him the inspiration to write these beautiful poems.
This event allows a wide audience to discover Irish culture through photography and poetry. The poet wants to convey to his audience the same emotions that he experienced during his trip.
