I'm not boasting but Ireland is surely one of the best countries to live in. It's scenic, there is no doubt, it's compact and easy to get around.

There is nowhere better to be at sunset than the west of Ireland, the mountains and valleys soak up the low rays of sunshine coming from the Atlantic.  

Sunset on Ireland's River Shannon

A recent photography workshop took me to the majestic River Shannon, the longest river in Ireland or Britain.
