Travels in Ireland Early 2014

Two recent trips to Ireland produced a selection of images:


These amazing lenticular clouds in a pile d'assiettes stack of plates formation had formed over the Wicklow Mountains, south of Dublin and were captured whilst driving down towards Kilkenny,
March 2014.


I love the starkness of this tree, caught by a patch of daylight filtering down through thick pine forest.


Sunlight, rainbow and storm over a fast flowing River Suir near Cahir in late January


Beautiful soft green woodland captured in the Galtee Mountains, Co. Tipperary, January 2014


January also brought storms and strong winds as a series of lows swept across Britain and Ireland
the next three images capture one of the stormy days seen across Dublin Bay.


Sunlight and Storm, Dublin Bay




March saw calmer weather but still rapid changes of light on the coast, this is Howth Harbour, north of Dublin on a late March afternoon.
