The Conor Pass is the highest mountain pass in Ireland and offers the most dramatic way to enter the western part of the Dingle peninsula.
On the eastern side, an incredible narrow and winding road clings to the cliff face making it interesting for the unwary when meeting traffic coming the other way!
Once at the top of the pass, the views are quite literally breathtaking. This image was made as the sun was rising on a Summer's morning. Brandon Mountain (Cnoc Bréanainn) shows off its rugged eastern face across the Owenmore (An Abha Mhór) valley. The lakes visible are, from left to right, An Loch Geal, Loch Uí Fiannachta and Loch Neil Phádraig. Loch Cruite is just visible nestling at the base of the mountain. Brandon Bay can be seen in the right of frame in the distance.
It's from Brandon Creek on the western side of the mountain that St. Brendan is said to have begun his legendary voyage to America around the year 512 AD.
I absolutely love this photograph. Words just don’t do it justice. I wish I had one of every item on your website.

The Plassey is a cargo vessel that came aground in 1960 on the Carraig na Finnise reef off the east cost of Inis Oirr, the smallest and most easterly of the Aran Islands. All hands were rescued by the islanders in difficult conditions by firing grapnels to the ship and roping the crew to shore.
The ship was since driven ashore onto the island proper, and has been moved higher up the beach by subsequent violent storms. It sits well above the high tide mark, which speaks volumes of the power of the storms necessary to shift it. It's remarkable after the battering it's had over the years that the ship is still intact and upright.
From my conversations with the islanders, they believe that the next big sea to hit it (the last was sometime in the mid-90s) will destroy it, as it's in an advanced state of decay now. This will be a shame, as right now it's a big tourist draw for the island. I was told by one man, tongue in cheek, that they're looking for a replacement.
This image was made on a rather beautiful dawn, looking south towards the lighthouse.
Great varied selection of views of the natural land / seascapes that us poor mortals would never experience, without your vision and input. Best of luck with your future endeavors, and keep up the good work.

An Searrach (The Foal) is a sea stack just outside Dingle Harbour. Visible from the Conor Pass, I'd been meaning to find a good vantage point for it since I first saw it some years ago. Just recently while returning from business in Dingle town shortly after sunset, and in miserable weather I found this spot. Made with a long lens over 30 seconds, I believe it captures the mood of the scene very well.

The Gweebarra River flows into Gweebarra Bay and then into the Atlantic. It meanders through a series of sand banks and has wonderful turquoise waters. Seen here from directly above as the tide is just about to completely cover the last of one of the larger sand banks.
A gift for my husband whose father was born in Galway

This is a very special part of Ireland to us as my husbands family if from Joyce Country. This Photo captures all its beauty and Peter does incredible work.
This is our second purchase we also have the Black Valley Photo and it is absolutely a perfect photograph. We love his work and his shop. We stop in every time we are in the area.

Skellig Michael is perhaps Ireland's most alluring location. Wild and untamed, it was home to a monastery of ascetic monks from about the 6th to the 13th century.
This image was made from across Christ's Saddle between the two peaks of the island, looking towards the North Peak, which is where the monastery is located.

The Bridia Valley lies to the south of the famed Macgillycuddy's Reeks, the tallest mountain range in Ireland.
The Reeks themselves are hidden by cloud to the left of the frame here, and the prominent mountain to the right of center is Broaghnabinnia (Bruach na Binne). The hill to the left of it is Curraghmore (An Curragh Mór). The popular Kerry Way walking route emerges over the saddle between these two mountains from the Black Valley beyond.
This is one of my favourite views in all of Ireland - a dramatic scene made more so here by the threatening cloud, the use of an infra-red camera and a high-contrast treatment.

The monastery on Skellig Michael dates from the 6th century and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Perched on a man-made terrace 600 feet above the Atlantic, it's possibly my favourite place in the world. This photograph was made looking into the rising sun - a rare privilege!

Ross Castle is one of Killarney's most popular tourist attractions. Probably built around the 15th century, it was restored in 1979 and is open to the public.
Seen here from Rien Pier by the Workmen's Rowing Club boathouse on a fine summer's morning, it's easy to see why it's such a popular place to visit.
We just got ours back from being framed.its a beautiful piece. The store and web are great and easy to use

Unique angle that most never see
The photo is taken from off a pathway that most never see and thus offers a unique angle of Ross Castle. The light on the castle is stunning and the stillness of the water calming.

Lough Leane is the largest of the Lakes of Killarney, and is seen here looking from Reen Pier near Ross Castle towards the Purple Mountain group (consisting of Tomies, Purple and Shehy mountains).
The Lakes are world famous for their beauty and I've long been looking for an image that conveyed the scale and calmness of this area. It wasn't until fairly recently that the combination of clouds, calm water and warm light made this photograph possible.

White Rock Beach on Killiney Bay is an extension of Killiney Beach, but is cut off from the main strand at high tide.
This swimming platform has been carved out of the rock, and is largely exposed at low tide. Taken here with a long exposure at high tide, it seems to be floating in a sea of mist.

This image shows detail of the sound between Valentia and the mainland. The bridge that links the island to Portmagee can be clearly seen. The bridge was built in 1970, and previously a ferry ran from the village. At the eastern end of the island, a ferry still runs, connecting that side with the town of Cahersiveen.
In the distance, the snow-capped peaks of the Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Ireland’s highest mountain range, huddle together beneath a squall.

Rossbeigh is a partner to Inch. It emerges from the Iveragh peninsula and, while thinner and shorter than its cousin, it’s no less beautiful.
During the storms of 2013-2014, the facilities at the base of the spit were extensively damaged, and the shape of the peninsula was somewhat altered.

The Upper Lake, one of the famous Lakes of Killarney, is probably the most scenic. This is a classic view, looking out over the Macgillycuddy's Reeks from a location used by the lake's boatmen to tie up at the end of the day. Snow rests on the mountains on a fresh winter's day.

Noctilucent clouds are a rare sight. Only visible when the sun is below the horizon, they are the highest altitude clouds on earth, right on the edge of space. One evening in June 2014, there was a particularly beautiful display which I captured near my home in Ballingeary.

The Gap of Dunloe is perhaps the most iconic of the landscapes around Killarney. A dramatic, steep-sided valley with a narrow road winding torturously through it, it's endlessly scenic.
This photograph was made at sunset on a particularly beautiful November evening.
