Sometimes summer in Ireland is just not what you would expect. Well, perhaps it is what you might expect.
Usually our summers are filled with long days, sunshine and cloud with a good deal of rain but much blue sky - like this.
Summer 2017 has so far proved to be a good bit different with many grey days, lingering cloud and reduced sunshine. It has still been warm but all of this provides a challenge to the photographer.
Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way stretches for 2,500km along the country's Atlantic seaboard from Cork in the south to Donegal in the north.
Here is one small section of that coastline, in County Clare when on a photography workshop we stopped to photograph the delights of this county well known for traditional music, archaeology and Father Ted.
I call it 'Waves' and you can join me on a photography workshop in County Clare or anywhere along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.
A Summer View in Ireland of Sheep-dotted Hills and Green Fields

A recent photography workshop saw us finish up for sunset at a famous Irish location but on the way we stopped here to capture this rural scene of green fields and sheep-dotted mountain ridges sidelighted by the low summer evening sun.

The Old Fence

An old fence runs into deep waters from the shore.
I stopped here after a photography tour to capture this blue, wave-filled scene and used the fence to add interest into the image.
I found this old stone bridge recently, having photographed the valley in which it sits I climbed down off the road, slipping most of the way on the steep incline that was boggy and wet.
Thankfully the ground was soft.
