A little early morning sunshine with the Moon visible in the blue sky.

A lovely time to be up and about.

GAA Football All-Ireland Final 2013

Mayo face Dublin in the capital's Croke Park tomorrow, Sunday 22nd September 2013.

It's no secret that I really do like Connemara.

The Burren

Co. Clare's Burren is a unique landscape situated on Ireland's west coast. Its name derives from the Irish for 'rocky place'.

Flightfest 2013

Just over a year since the Tall Ships were on the Liffey in Dublin, the capital of Ireland today played host to another unusual festival.

With the weather being fine yesterday and blustery conditions forecast for today, the day of Flightfest in Dublin it was quite a relief to see good weather for most of the afternoon.

An evening at the coast, there's something about the smell of the sea, the bracing winds and walking over pebbles and rocks.

Dublin's parks are getting more colourful by the day, the cold weather has arrived and it does feel like the summer is really over.

A good place to visit on a Photo Tour, Workshop or Photo Walk. Make that an essential place to visit on a photo tour of Dublin.

Backroads in Ireland

It can hardly be called a large country, Ireland. It's possible to drive from the Irish Sea to the Atlantic in around three hours but the backroads of Ireland are some of the most scenic it is possible to encounter.

Irish Forests - A countryside resource

Walking in Ireland is a pleasure but can sometimes be a disappointment especially given the better levels of access to the countryside that other countries enjoy.  

In Ireland, access to the countryside is poor compared to the levels afforded in Scotland, England, France and other countries.
