Exploring Green Lanes in the Irish Countryside
I've often written about green lanes here on panoramicireland.com and really love finding new green lanes or green roads in the Irish countryside.
Here are some of my previous posts about these scenic routes:
- Irish Summer Green Rural Lane
- Sheep on an Ancient Lane in Ireland
- Green Road Weaving Through the Irish Landscape
- Green Road Ireland - Scenic and Quiet Photography Adventure
- Green Lanes in Snow-Capped Winter Scene
And this YouTube video featuring a walk along a lush Irish green road:
A Green Road to the Atlantic
Here, a green road that leads straight to the Atlantic and seen here on a stormy afternoon.
Nestled between stone walls and tumble-down fences, waterlogged with rain and Atlantic seaspray, this lane heads towards breaking offshore waves and rolling clouds.
It's quite the scene, a moment I'll remember for some time as the wind battered the front of my 24-70mm lens.
Although it doesn't appear as green as in my other posts about these characterful thoroughfares above, this was definitely a green lane and you can see green amongst the reds, browns and whites. In summer this would look much more lush.
Because these lanes, just ordinary routes - these aren't famine roads or roads that traversed Ireland towards Tara, are rarely used they remain important corridors for wildlife.
To find places like these, to photograph in the hidden places of the Irish countryside, why not join me for a day to capture scenes like these - use the About page to find out more.
