Sunset over the ocean at Charles Fort, Kinsale County Cork

Sun setting over Charles Fort
I was quite thrilled to get this stunning sunset photograph at Charles Fort in Kinsale one February day a few years ago.  It's pretty rare to have such a beautiful sky in Ireland in February, but I was lucky enough to be at Charles Fort for this one.

Horses in a field in County Clare

Horses near the Burren Co. Clare
I LOVE this picture :)
I just had to stop and take a photo of these guys running around in this field.  The young horse was really enjoying his youth, running back and forth and doing circles around the grey horse.
The stone wall you see at the bottom of the picture is very common around all of rural Ireland.  Stacks of stones perfectly placed to make a good sturdy barrier.
Also in the background you can see some deforestation.  Hopefully new trees have been planted in place of the ones cut down.
Enjoy!

Ross Castle
This castle was built in the 15th century, and it is an amazing place to visit if you are in the Killarney area.

Co. Clare ocean view

Co. Clare - looking out towards the Aran Islands
I took this shot on route to the Cliffs of Moher 2 years ago.  I envied the beautiful location that these cows had for themselves, however the barbed wire made me appreciate my freedom to roam :)
