Achill Island, County Mayo, Ireland, Landscape, Seascape, West Coast, Rural Ireland
Description
This location is along the Atlantic Drive, near the southern tip of the Island. From here there is a great view looking northwest along the cliffs towards Dooagh Village. There was a very large swell producing 25ft waves, which looked fantastic as they rolled into the small Bay. I managed to get out in between the showers for some quick handheld shots and was very pleased with the pattern the waves formed, while the houses situated up on the hill above the bay giving the shot a good sense of scale.

Description
Dooagh is the most westerly village on Achill Island and out here you get a real sense that you are on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean as the road only continues for another few miles over the cliffs and down into Keem Bay. On the day of this shot I knew that the large swell would be breaking over the pier wall as the tide came in. The weather was a mixture of very heavy showers and clear spells so I set up my camera in between the showers and spent a roll of film recording the action.

Achill Island, Keel Strand, West Coast of Ireland, Beach, Seascape, Landscape, Rural Ireland,
Description
Keel Strand is one of the most beautiful beaches in County Mayo, positioned beautifully under the Minnaun Cliffs on the Island. It is very popular with all types of water sports and outdoor enthusiasts. As the tide receded the wet sand created a perfect mirror image of the cliffs and sky. I had taken a series of shots including a kyte surfer which I was happy with but when the four walkers in the scene came into shot they made a fantastic focal point.

Description
This beautiful bridge was originally part of the main road between Newport and Mulranny. Luckily, as volumes of traffic increased, rather than demolishing this bridge a more modern one was built down river. It is typical of the multi-arched stone bridges built in Ireland for hundreds of years. After parking up I noticed two swans swimming up river so I raced to get into position for a shot. In my rush to make sure I got the swans before they went under the bridge I ended up getting soaked to the knees in the boggy ground close to the riverbank, but it was definitely worth it as it always great to include them in a scene. The low morning sun really brings out the warm colours in the bridge, cottage and reeds along the riverbank which are reflected perfectly in the calm river.
