The Cliff Sitters at Clogher Strand
When we arrived at Clogher Strand for a photography session last month I spotted a group of teenagers sitting in the grass. I just realised something. They weren’t looking at their phones!
Long Exposure at Ireland’s Edge

Dingle’s Gentle Sentinel
Many years ago while travelling on the Dingle Peninsula we came across a donkey in a field in Muiríoch. I posted a photo of him in 2007 and again in 2008 but I happened to come across this photo of him and did a little work on the photo. There’s a chance this donkey is…
The Three Sisters at Twilight

An Fear Marbh at Sunset
It looked like there wouldn’t be any sunset, but I was down at the bottom of Dunquin Pier when I saw an orange glow coming from behind the large rock blocking my view of the sun that had just set. If you know how steep that path down to the pier is, I hope you’ll…

It’s dangerous to swim there, but it’s such a picturesque area we always end up there every time we visit the area. Coumeenoole Beach gained international fame after being featured in the 1970 film “Ryan’s Daughter,”…
