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

Dublin Photo Tours at the Coast

Leading photo tours around Dublin is interesting and often challenging, there are no two days the same. Despite visiting the same locations over and over again, it's hard to become tired of it. 

Connemara or Conamara

The western part of County Galway, situated west of Lough Corrib, is known as Connemara.

It's a land of bog, mountains, sea and sky. This image is taken from a single track bog road on the way to the edge of Ireland, the edge of Europe on the Atlantic Coast.

As I made my way across the bog towards the small lake pictured in this image, I was shadowed by the vertical flight of the skylark hovering in the clouds above me, warbling its distinctive call.

During the winter months, the long and varied coastline of Ireland becomes a main focus for the landscape photographer.

It's known as the Emerald Isle, and Ireland certainly lives up to that moniker with plenty of colour (especially green) all year round.
