Abroad

From Today's Clare People - a collection of my photographs , from St. Brigid's Well, near the Cliffs of Moher in Co. Clare, Ireland.

The inner circle of Cahercommaun Stone Fort contains a wealth of wildlife - I've even seen a frog in there. This was a common green grasshpper that allowed me to get right up close. Bear in mind, this guy was less than 20mm long... The title of the post comes from The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick.

Continuing the snail obession, here's three images that I had on exhibition during the recent Family Festival in Ennistymon, Co. Clare. All three are of snails - or abandonded shells, within metres of Poulnabrone Dolmen. As usual, prints of all my work is available on request....

I was sitting on the Cliffs of Moher a few weeks ago, watching the sunset from Hag's Head. A raven streaked by, swooping and croaking. My camera was set up for a slow shutter speed, but I fired anyway... and got this impressionistic shot.

I spotted this snail having a munch while cycling around Inishmore a couple of weeks ago. I've been obsessed with snails since I got my new Macro lens...
