A nightscape photo of the Forty Foot in Sandycove, County Dublin in November at night. It’s one of my favourite place in County Dublin to photograph. The Forty Foot is one of the most iconic locations around Dun Laoghaire and is a real gathering point for the locals, especially during the nice weather when loads of swimmers congregate and sales of Teddys ice cream go through the roof! You even get the brave simmers who always go on Christmas Day!

A landscape photo of Black Head in the Burren, County Clare. These are some of the oldest stone walls in Ireland. I love the contours of the Burren. The overlapping forms of the hills in the background compliment the strong form of the limestone Stone in the photo. The limestone walls turned a warm hue at sunset.

A sunset Photo of Howth along the Howth Way captured of the stone monolith at the aptly named Red Rock beach. It’s a beautiful walk along the North Dublin Coast which starts in Sutton and makes its way toward Howth. The soil in the area is a deep red colour. Made all the redder because of the warmth of the sunset.

A Photo of rural Ireland showing the beauty and charm of the Irish landscape. I took the photo of a stone wall, while driving around the Beara Peninsula in west Cork. The wall, fishing nets and natural landscape have become one harmonious entity, full of character.

I found this washed up doll one morning at sunrise sunbathing on the rocks! I was taking sunrise photos of Sandymount Strand at the Pigeon House. The warm early morning light bathed Poolbeg Power Station in an incredible light. The dark clouds increased the warmth of the scene.

The Burren, in northwest County Clare, is one of the largest stone landscapes in Europe. Shaped by nature and many generations of Irish farmers, the Burren is both unique and beautiful. A place rich with historical and archaeological sites.
This photograph was taken while traveling around the Burren with my good friend Shane Conneelly. It was a lovely but extremely hazy day. Towards evening we climbed Black Head, located near Fanore. There is an ancient stone fort at the top and some of the oldest stone walls in Ireland form separating boundaries on the fields of stone. As sunset approached the hazy light turned surreal. The ocean reflected the colour of the sky, the horizon almost disappeared and the division between earth and sky became unclear.
