The Ring of Kerry, despite its reputation for amazing scenery, actually bypasses many of the real gems of the Kerry landscape. However, Derrynane is an exception. It’s most dramatically seen when coming from the north where the bay is revealed all at once, a playground of sheltered coves and islets, and of course, its famous beach.
Hard against the mountains of southwest Kerry, it’s a place that rewards exploration. For this photograph, I wanted to capture a less obvious viewpoint, and found the meandering stream through the beach a compelling subject.

A popular beach on summer afternoons, Barley Cove is one of Cork's most beautiful beaches. Seen from the air on an October afternoon, beautiful broken light plays across the landscape.

This image of Carrauntoohil (Corrán Tuathail) was made from the Hag's Glen by the banks of the Gaddagh River which flows from Lough Gouragh and Lough Caillí.
The hill rising to the right is Knockbrinnea (Cnoc Broinne), and the promintory jutting from its slope is the Hag's Tooth (Stumpa an tSaimh).
The route through the Hag's Glen is the most popular access route for climbing Carrauntoohil, with several possible routes opening up. The Devil's Ladder is the most heavily used of these, rising from the southern wall of the Glen to the ridge between Carrauntoohil itself and Cnoc na Toinne - just out of frame to the left.

Torc Waterfall is one of the jewels of the Killarney area. A majestic cascade through a leafy valley, it's a place of wonderful calm.
Photographed here on an overcast day, the colours and tones of the scene really shine through.

The Old Weir Bridge in the Killarney National Park is the gateway to the Meeting of the Waters where the Upper Lake (via the Long Range river), Muckross Lake and Lough Leane converge.
This image was made shortly after sunset as the light was fading from the sky.

The Long Range can be described as either a wide river or a skinny lake, and it connects Muckross Lake and Lough Leane with the Upper Lake in Killarney. Flowing between the Eagle's Nest mountain and the Ring of Kerry road, it's a fine sight at any time.
This image, made from a helicopter on a fine summer's day, shows its meandering course westwards to the Upper Lake, nestled among the mountains.

A river rages over a small waterfall in the highlands of Iceland. Stormy clouds brood over mountains in the distance.

Barnafoss (Childern's Waterfall) is in Western Iceland and while not the biggest or most powerful in the country, it's certainly one of the most impressive. A massive volume of water roars through this narrow canyon and in this photograph I attempted to capture a sense of that.

A deluge of meltwater pours out of a fissure in the calving face of this massive ice wall.

Gasadalur is one of the most remote communities in the Faroes, and a tunnel was only recently bored into the mountain to reach it. Prior to that it was accessible only by hiking over the mountain itself or by helicopter or boat. This photograph was made at night and the stars shine down over the waterfall and village.
