Ireland Trip

In October I took a trip through Ireland for a few weeks, driving around and taking pictures of the castles and landscapes across the Island. Even in the fall, I saw more shades of green than anywhere here. With luck, I'll be going back next year for longer and with new equipment.

Goat Statue

An old stone statue in the trails by Dunboyne Castle Hotel.

Ancient Guard House

The entrance to the original Dunboyne Castle. The door still opens and locks, kind of pointless though haha.

Mossy Lion

A very old lion fountain coated in moss, tucked away by the trees.

 Rainbow

The first rainbow I saw in Ireland, but definitely not the best yet.

 Trim Castle

Part of Trim Castle's remains, in the top right is the Abby.

 Trim Castle 2

A view of Trim Castle's moat and surrounding lands.

 Calm Waters

Some boats on the River Shannon, about 5 minutes before the rain.

 Mirror Surface

The waters of Lough Meelagh, still as glass.

 Forest Trails

The path between Kilronan Castle and Lough Meelagh. Felt like being back home.

Solitude

One of the statues outside Kilronan Castle.

Castle Lights

Kilronan Castle light up at night, about 30 min before the fog rolled in.

Kilronan

The castle during the day, this is one of my favourite places to stay.

Yeats

A statue of poet William Yeats, surrounded by engravings of his works.

Celtic High Cross

An 11th century High Cross in Drumcliffe Church. You can make out all the carvings still.

 

 Ben Bulben Mountain

A view of the mountains from the church yard.

Misty Tops

High enough for the clouds to cover the top.

Distant Castle

One of the Royals' castles by the ocean, wish I could have gotten closer to it.
