Ask me about travel in Ireland or about photography in Ireland.
A few weeks later I saw a tweet, of an Irish painter that I had not heard of before, referencing a landscape from County Mayo in Ireland's west. It was Across the Bog, Mayo by Jeremiah Hoad.
And I was struck by the similarities between this fine oil painting of an Irish bogland scene and my own recent image of the barley field with mountains.
On those rainy, cloudy days where the sun really doesn't make an appearance the light is still great for photography.
Join me, Panoramic Ireland, to learn how to photograph and to see Ireland. Tours and workshops available all year round.
It is common enough even today to see old forge buildings with horseshoe shaped doorways but nowhere else have I seen windows in this style.
The price is based on two people sharing a car and travelling together but what a perfect way to see Ireland, with a friend travelling around the quiet backroads outside of the tourist season, to photograph scenes like those below.
For extra, flights from other US cities can be booked as can an automatic car if the manual (stick shift) option doesn't appeal.
