Whispering Land

Carsten Krieger grew up in rural southern Germany. As a child he was an avid reader and had a keen interest in natural history and photography. On hearing that The Lord of the Rings was partly inspired by the landscape of the Burren, Carsten made his first trip to Ireland, and would end up settling in County Clare, starting a new life and career as photographer. When he is not photographing and writing new books, Carsten works in the fields of nature education and renewable energy.
