Another shot of Glendalough, this time taken from the western end of the valley, above the abandoned miner's village.
There are several walking trails in the valley, I did the Spinc & Glenealo valley trail in the opposite direction to the one recommended in the guide, starting off with the flat section along the northern shore of the upper lake & then heading up along the Spinc boardwalk...
Glendalough again, this time from the viewpoint on the Spinc walking trail above the upper lake. Well worth the trek :)
Taken from Howth, my idea was to get a nice sunset shot of Dublin Bay but the fog rolled in before I could get what I wanted!
A black & white shot of one of Ireland's most iconic locations, the Cliffs Of Moher, Co. Clare.
It was a stormy day, extremely windy, raining on & off which made BW the only choice really.
It had been a while since I last visited this palce, probably 8 years or so. I don't remember if I was charged for parking on my last visit, but this time I had to pay €8 to park here, and there was nowhere else to leave the car.
I spent a few days 'Out West' this week. The weather was pretty bad. Strong winds, grey skies, rain. A typical Irish spring/summer week to be honest.
Luckily, the final evening of my trip yielded a nice sunset, as viewed from Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare.
I managed a trip outside of Dublin this weekend, headiing north to Co. Down & the Mourne Mountains.
Slieve Donard is the highest peak in the Mournes, peak in Northern Ireland & indeed in all of Ulster, at 855 metres above sea-level. Not that I made it to the top, instead stopping a few times on the way up to the Mourne Wall, which you can see in the photo. That was about 540 metres, and the final climb is pretty steep so this inexperienced hill-walker decided to quit while the going was good ;)
Next time...
This shot form the recent Dublin Strobist meet has proven to be very popular over on flickr. I can't imagine why ;)
