Ballycotton is a small fishing village in County Cork, Ireland. I travelled there from my home about 30 minutes away to photograph the dawn.

Gougane (pron: “goo- gawn�) Barra is in West Cork, Ireland and the name is derived from Saint Finbarr who is reputed to have built a monastery in the island in the foreground in the 6th century. It is a beautiful place and it exudes a sense of calm and relaxation. This, of course, is a drone shot (Phantom 4).

The Ring of Kerry has some of the most beautiful countryside I have ever seen. My wife and I visited Ireland for our honeymoon, and we were lucky enough to spend two nights in Killarney. This photo was taken during a walk we took around Muckross Lake, not far from our hotel. I’m not sure which was more awesome, the view of the lake and surrounding mountains, or the fields full of wild red deer to our backs in this photo.

These rocks, on Ireland’s Copper Coast, are nearly 500 million years old. Sharp edges of ancient strata, that hold the story of life before even the dinosaurs roamed our planet.

Ireland’s Copper Coast is littered with various rocks and formations, almost half a billion years old. Perfect for clambering over and playing hide and seek with an active 2-year-old.

The rocks at Kilfarrasy Beach always seem like another planet, whatever the tide. Here the tide was out, and laid bare Waterford's famous Copper Coast.

It was much less expensive to wander around these Abbey ruins than pay for the very expensive reconstruction project of the Rock of Cashel at the time. But I much prefer the mystique of a good ruins, especially when there are great shadows.

A week ago friends and I went on a little roadtrip to the West of Ireland. We’ve seen so many different and beautiful scenic spots that I simply have to call it the best weekend I had here in the country.

When I went from Dublin to the South-East of Ireland I didn’t expect to hike about 32 kilometres in only that one day. I really have to say that I missed a proper walk at the beach the last eight weeks I lived in Ireland. There is a major difference between a cliff walk and a beach walk in my eyes. Feeling the sand slipping away underneath my feet gives me a really special feeling. Adding this beautiful view to that it was simply fantastic.

Clambering around the precarious cliffs in Dunmore East, one of Ireland’s prettiest fishing villages, I came across this eerie set of cast iron railings from the industrial age. Built to guide intrepid walkers before the advent of more cautious health and safety guidelines. The railings now serve as a series of strange markers, inviting you into the dark Irish Sea.

I photographed the Skelligs - rocky outcrops in the Atlantic off the coast of County Kerry - from Saint David’s Bay on the mainland. I chose my viewpoint to get the three rocks in the frame and used a 400mm lens to achieve the foreshortening effect. Skellig Michael - the largest - was the site of an ancient monastic settlement and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also now famous for featuring in the last two Star Wars movies.
