Made as a famine relief project, the winding road coming up the Cork side of the Healy Pass makes a wonderful sight from the top. Photographed here on a cloudy day, the clouds scud across the scene.
I’m delighted with my purchase of the Gearagh. The photo brings a sense of piece and tranquility to me. It’s a magical photo where you can almost feel yourself sitting on that bench enjoying the moment.

Made on my visit to the Bull Rock lighthouse, the largest of the three offshore islands the Bull, the Cow and the Calf.
In this image, looking back to the mainland you can see the Cow (the largish island in the center of the frame), the Calf (to the right with the broken-off lighthouse) and Dursey Island (the largest island in the center of the frame).
Made with a long exposure, the sea and the clouds have smoothed out completely. I very much like the quiet moodiness of this image.

Kilcatherine is one of the hidden jewels of the Beara, itself an under-appreciated gem of the south-west of Ireland. This photograph from Kilcatherine Point looking west to Inishfarnard shows the rugged beauty of this area. It was a day where the forecast was bad enough to make you want to curl up by the fire and forget the outside world exists, but I ventured out and was rewarded with this wonderful sunset.
You don't need good weather to make good photographs!

Muckross House is one of Killarney's most popular visitor attractions. Completed in 1843 by the Herbert family, it saw extensive works leading up to the 1861 visit of Queen Victoria. In fact, it's believed that the family's later financial insolvency was caused by the massive outlay required to prepare for her visit.
It's now owned by the state and forms a principal feature of the Killarney National park. Photographed here on a fine Summer's evening, the architecture of the house can be appreciated against its manicured surroundings.

Made on a fine morning during my stay on the Bull Rock. On the steps leading up from the Wendy House to the old fog signal station on the island's summit. This is the view looking south-west.
The building in the foreground is the keeper's accommodation and engine room. One of the water tanks is visible as is part of the oil store. You can also get some appreciation of the exposed nature of the helipad, sitting on stilts with steep drops on three sides.

Dún Bhaloir (Balor's Fort) is an iron-age promontory fort on the rugged eastern end of Tory Island, several miles off the coast of Donegal.
Made at sunset while standing over a 100m drop, the last rays of the sun bathe the cliffs with a warm glow.

The Gweebarra River flows into Gweebarra Bay and then into the Atlantic. It meanders through a series of sand banks and has wonderful turquoise waters. Seen here from directly above as the tide is just about to completely cover the last of one of the larger sand banks.

I was even able to bribe some sheep to wander into the frame at left for the authentic rural Irish experience!

The Ballaghbeama Gap (Bealach Béime) is a mountain pass in Kerry to the south-west of the Macgillycuddy's Reeks (Na Cruacha Dubha). It runs through the gap between Mullaghanattin (Mullach an Aitinn) to the south and Knockaunanattin (Cnocán an Aitinn) to the north. This view is looking east.
It's a fairly isolated place, forming the southern entrance to Glencar. Just around the corner from the Gap is the Bridia Valley.
