Mayo

An aerial view of Croagh Patrick with Clare Island in the distance. Snow dusts the peak.

The Partry Mountains are a range of hills in Joyce Country, Co. Mayo. While wandering in a nearby oak forest, I spotted this tree as an outlier in the bog with nothing behind it but the hills themselves.
A little scouting led me to this composition, and later to a wellington boot filled with bog when I went up to my hip in a hole. It was worth it though!

Roonagh Point with Croagh Patrick in the distance.

The retired lighthouse on the island is dramatically situated on the cliffs.

A not-often seen image of Achill Head on Achill Island. Made from the air, the dramatic headland extends like a finger into the Atlantic.

White Strand in Connemara at sunset.

Moonrise over Croagh Patrick from Old Head with a tree in the foreground and red lights over the pier.

A popular beach at the foot of Croagh Patrick.

The westernmost point of the island of Inishturk in the afterglow of a gorgeous early spring sunset.

Mist and early morning light bathe the forest around Lough Conn.

An infrared photograph, the approaching rainclouds set a wonderful mood as the stone wall beneath the tree leads you through the patchwork of fields towards Lough Corrib. Five minutes after making this image, I was soaking wet.

Benwee Head, with the stags as rain squalls pass by.

Shot from a helicopter flying through a rain squall, rainbows photographed in the air are full circles.

Boughil More and Boughil Beg, two large sea stacks on the western edge of the island of Inishturk stand sentinel beneath a starry sky.
