The london eye shot against dramatic clouds- at the time this image was taken it was a beautiful morning, but these wispy clouds were the harbinger of a big storm which arrived shortly afterwards. Kodak EIR with yellow filter / Nikkor 35-70 at 70mm

A back catalogue landscape, which if I recall correctly, was taken in Co. Sligo, Ireland, not far inland from the west coast. It shows Ben Bulben, I am told. I would be interested to hear serious critique of this earlier work from 2002.

BEST VIEWED AS A MEDIUM SIZED FRAMED PRINT ON YOUR SITTING ROOM WALL! Drifting all alone on a vast ocean with just myself for company! This is a shot of a cargo vessel heading out from the mouth of the River Shannon across Ballybunion Bay in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The shot was taken with a telephoto lens from Knockanore Mountain (really a large hill) some two miles from shore as the préachán flies. / /

Add A90Six to your WatchList! BLACK & WHITE | BUILDINGS & ARCHITECTURE | FLOWERS | IRELAND | LONDON | MALLORCA | PLAYING with PICTURES | RED BEST VIEWED AS A MEDIUM SIZED FRAMED PRINT ON YOUR SITTING ROOM WALL! The Celtic Cross, sometimes referred to as the Irish Cross is these days represetative of the Christian Church in Ireland. Ancient Celtic crosses can also be found in other Celtic regions such as Cornwall in England, Wales, Scotland and the Scottish Isles. It’s origins are unclear, but the notion that it was introduced by St Patrick is not true as the symbol was around long before his time. The cross in this shot is a headstone on a grave at Killahenna Cemetery, Ballybunion, Co. Kerry, Ireland, where many of my ancestors and relatives are buried. /

This church in Doon, Ballybunion closed it’s doors to its congregation a few short years after the new, St John’s, church opened in the town centre on 1st August, 1897.

Sunset over the Nuns Strand in Ballybunion, Co. Kerry, Ireland. The wind was so hard that it was difficult to stand up straight let alone keep the camera steady on the tripod. The spray from the sea was coming up over the cliff and hitting the lens., but I still liked the shot. Oh, and it was absolutely freezing cold. The wind cut straight through me. /

The setting sun picked out the Autumn colours along the pathway through the trees leading to the edge of one of the beautiful lakes of Killarney, Co. Kerry, Ireland. / / The Lakes of Killarney have many legends and stories of magic and mystery attached to them. The Tuatha de Danaan or the Tribes of the Goddess Danu are thought to have been a sea-faring race called Pelasgians that lived near the Aegean Sea. The Danaans were a magical race, and possessed the knowledge of blacksmithing. They came to the British Isles after they were driven from their homes by invaders from the northeast and southeast. / According to the Book of Invasions, the Tuatha de Danaans were driven northward from Greece as a result of invasion from Syria, and eventually reached Ireland by way of Denmark, to which they gave their own name, Kingdom of the Danaans and North Britain. The date of their arrival in Britain is recorded as 1472 BC. According to Herodotus in History, the Syrian invasion of Greece may be the capture by Phoenicians of the Danaan shrine of the White Goddess Io at Argos, then the religious capitol of the Peloponnese. The Cretans colonized it in 1750 BC. Herodotus does not date the event except that it happened before the Argo expedition to Colchis, which the Greeks dated 1225 BC and before Europa went from Phoenicia to Crete, a tribal emigration, which probably took place some centuries earlier before the sack of Cnossos in 1400 BC. / According to legend, when the Danaans landed in Ireland, they arrived from the sky on a ship of dark clouds on the eve of Beltaine. The Tuatha de Danaans brought with them the stone of destiny called Lia Fail, which was placed on Tara and used to choose the rightful kings of Ireland. They also brought the spear of Lugh, which made whoever wielded it victorious in battle. The third gift they brought was The Sword of Nuada or the Sword of Light, which none could escape from. There was a fourth gift, the Cauldron of the Dagda, which would always be filled with food so that none would starve. / They had to fight the Firbolgs, which they defeated on the hill of Moytura, but the Danaan king, Nuada, lost his hand in this battle. Then, they had to fight the Formorians, a race of ugly giants. The Danaans won the fight with the help of their champion, Lugh, and the Formorians were sent to live under the sea. / 200 years after arrival of the Danaans in Ireland, people sailing from Thrace through the / Mediterranean and out into the Atlantic, landed in Wexford Bay where they came into conflict with the Danaans, but were persuaded to pass out into Northern Britain, then called Albany. They were known as Picts, or Painted Ones. / The Milesians arrived soon after. Instead of fighting the Milesians, the Danaans chose to retreat into the hills and mounds, living in raths that were invisible to humans. Because of this, they were referred to as “Aes Sidhe,” which means the people of the sidhe. The Danaans became the faery folk of Ireland, also called ‘the gentry,’ ‘the grey ones’ or ‘the others.’ They are not tiny faeries but are of normal height and shapeshifters. They are the spirits of the wood, river, and mounds. They are immortals and the only thing that can harm them is iron. The fact that only iron can harm theTuatha de Danaans my have a deeper meaning. It is possible that the Danaans were a Bronze Age race that was defeated by an Iron Age race, the Milesians. / http://www.kelleyheckart.com/Tuatha_de_Danaan.html

After driving up through the mountains of Killarney, this wonderful view (Ladies View) can be seen looking down into the valley where some of the lakes can be seen nestled in amongst the mountains. Once part of the enormous Herbert estate at Muckross, the road to this scenic vista was improved in honor of Queen Victoria’s visit in 1861. The panorama inspired such awe and gasps of admiration from the Queen’s ladies in waiting that it was dubbed “Ladies’ View.” From this point, the Upper Lake, Middle Lake, Black Valley, MacGillycuddy Reeks, and Gap of Dunloe are clearly visible. http://www.redbubble.com/products/configure/6554993

For affordable canvas prints please click here Featured in Heritage in Stone 6th Nov, 2008. / Featured in Ireland 8th Nov, 2008. / Carrigafoyle Castle – built by Conor Liath O’Connor-Kerry in the 1490s, and considered one of the strongest of Irish fortresses – was a large tower house, of the type particularly common across the north of the province of Munster. It stood on a rock in a small bay off the Shannon estuary, and its name is an anglicisation of the Irish, Carraig an Phoill (“rock of the hole”). The castle was referred to as the guardian of the Shannon, because of its strategic command of the shipping lanes that supplied the trading city of Limerick, some 20 miles (32 km) upriver. The bay at Carrigafoyle was shielded from the estuary on the northern side by a wooded island. Within the bay, the castle-rock was defended on the west and south sides by a double defensive wall: the inner wall enclosed a bawn, and surrounding this was a moat, which was covered on three sides (the east lay open) by the outer wall, where a smaller tower stood. The tower-keep itself was 86 ft high, and the precipitous sides of the castle-rock were layered with bricks and mortar. At high tide, the walled landing within the moat was capable of accommodating a ship of 100 tons displacement. Wikipedia

Featured in All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical 21st December, 2008. Moonlight in Mulranny. Mulranny is a small town in County Mayo on the west coast of Ireland. As with several Irish placenames, it has in recent years undergone a change in spelling reverting back to a former variation. It is now generally spellt Mallaranny, but can also be found as Mullranny and Malaranny. / The town sits on the coastline of Clew Bay. Clew Bay is said to have 365 islands (one for each day of the year). Some are inhabted by small populations and others are used for grazing sheep and cattle. / As can be seen in this shot, at low tide one could walk across the wet sands to the islands. Cattle can be seen wading through the shallows going back and foth from the mainland to the islands. / This is a shot of the view behind my Aunt’s house, taken one night on the way home from the pub. Camera always handy, I set it atop a gate post for stability, set the timer, etc., and it didn’t turn out too bad considering I was three sheets to the wind at the time.

For affordable canvas prints please click here This is one of the beaches in the town where I grew up. Here, I would play with cousins, bulid sand-castles ant torment crabs in the rock pools. As a teenager there were wild parties with huge bonfires and lots of drink. This is where I learnt to swin. The Black Rocks to the left is where we would colect periwinkles when the tide went out. The Castle ruins was where my great-grandfather would climb and sing when he’d had a few too many. The two main beaches in Ballybunion, Co. Kerry, Ireland, are named The Men’s Strand and The Ladies Strand. The beaches are separated by a cliff, atop which stands the ruins of a promontory fort, Ballybunion Castle. The names date back to the Victorian era when it was seemly for ladies and gents to bathe in different areas. The names are still used, but the gender restriction has not been observed for many a decade.
