The Water Trail by doublevision
THE ULSTER WAY This meandering circular route explores many of the rural areas of Northern Ireland, sometimes tasting the salty air of the coast and sometimes the clear air of the rivers, loughs and farming land. The Ulster Way covers over 900km and is the only long distance waymarked path in Northern Ireland. Looping its way around the country, it sticks close to the coast on the eastern side but curves away from the border with the Republic of Ireland in the south and the west. As it takes over a month to walk the Ulster Way in its entirety, it is best to tackle sections in a day, weekend or week. The circular route of the Ulster Way ensures that all the different landscapes can be experienced, and that the discerning walker can choose between a coastal exploration, a mountain trek, the tranquillity of a lough, the beauty of untouched rural areas, or even the grim splendour of the docks and gantries near Belfast.

Have the wish I wish tonight. I’m sure we’ve all wished on a star at some stage in our lives, whether it be the brightest in the sky, or a solitary shooting star. The 5 year old inside me wants to believe that if i were to make a wish right now, it would come true “because i saw that star fall from the sky”. But what to wish for? Money? Success? Happiness? / Although “all of the above” seems to be an enticing option, right now, I’d wish for Clarity and Opportunity. Why? Quite simply because I’ve been thinking alot about my photography ventures lately, and came to the rather frustrating conclusion that I simply have no direction. I try something, then move on without first exhausting all avenues of the original theme. I have so many things I want to try, I rush to complete each project and have no liking for, or take no satisfaction from, the product. Thinking about this, I dedicated some time to look through my favourite images by OTHER artists, and found that i am drawn predominantly to portraits and dreamy wildflowers at the moment. And actually now think about it, that’s where I’ve ALWAYS been drawn really. Perhaps it’s the untold story, the possibility. I don’t know. Looking at my own images, I have little to no representation of either subject. WHY? Perhaps it’s a fear of failing to capture what I see in the work of others, or it could be something else entirely. I think we can all agree, my wish for Clarity is quite valid, and much needed! So, Opportunity. Perhaps this should be a wish for another star, but I’m not willing to take any chances. Opportunity to follow in a specific direction. Not dally from pillar to post, walking in circles, following the same signposts to nowhere in particular… My inner child is watching, waiting for that elusive falling star….

Soft Pastel and Hard Rock by oulgundog

About This Group
Northern Ireland is that little part of the UK that isn’t actually attached…. you see us? left a bit, little bit more…. yep, there we are! And this is the place you’ll find talented artists from the six counties. So whether you live here or have been visiting or just interested in our wee place, come in, pull up a pew and enjoy the fun of Norn Iron!
Nowhere Like Northern Ireland ~ new features for the next fortnight to end of November are now up: Some really superb images this month that I had to feature three from each of two persons ~ James Coard, and ImageGrabber. They are so totally different from each other! in how they see, and what they capture, but of one thing I am assured of, they are indeed photographic artists.
The sheer beauty of Northern Ireland is no doubt from perusing James’ superb landscapes; and in stark contrast the images of Belfast under decline of ImageGrabber really cry out for attention, as it is the Belfast I came from; you really want to check these out and see if you agree with me.
Also featured are excellent images from Peter Ellison with an interesting view on Belfast City Hall, Steve Mancini’s Dirt Jumping, Laura Cameron’s Capricious, Doublevision’s The Water Trail, De-art’s Templeweed, and SnappyDave’s bookworm.
