Ben Bulben

Ben Bulben, sometimes spelt Benbulben or Benbulbin (from the Irish: Binn Ghulbain), is a large rock formation in County Sligo, Ireland. It is part of the Dartry Mountains, an area sometimes called “Yeats Country”.

These photographs of Ben Bulben were taken from Rosses Point, Co. Sligo on a bright, sunny day with a blue sky at the backdrop in April 2012.

Nephin Mountain | Lough Conn

These pictures I took in Pontoon Co. Mayo show the beautiful Nephin Mountain from the shores of Loch Conn. Some of them are taken behind the Pontoon Bridge Hotel, and some along the shore of the lake.  It was a beautiful day with a blue sky and nice big clouds.

Windmills Kiltimagh

Windmills / wind turbines in Kiltimagh, Co. Mayo. They are on a raised site with some television mast and amazing view of Croagh Patrick and the surrounding areas in Co. Mayo.  Along with the windmills there are a number of bogs up the hills / mountains for turf cutting.

Mountain and sky

I took these shots from the TV  booster station in Corraun, Achill, County Mayo looking out over the Atlantic Ocean. It was quite late in the afternoon on a misty day, and as you can see the sun is trying to break through the clouds before setting.
