A Week by the Coast
I recently spent a week on the North coast of Northern Ireland.
I’ll say right here and now that this was not a photographically satisfying trip.
Downhill Forest
On a quick trip up the North coast of Northern Ireland, I took some photos in Downhill Forest, that’s a small mixed woodland just inland off the coastline near Castlerock.…
The Dark Hedges
Some time ago I realised that I hadn’t really explored the places that are, geographically speaking, on my doorstep. With that in mind I’ve been making more of an effort…
Sunday Sunrise
I’ll try and keep words to a minimum here.
Some things get me out of bed (work) and some things I get out of bed for (photography).
Downhill, Castlerock, Mussenden Temple & Gortmore Photo Trip
As part of an irregular series of photo trips with work colleagues out and about in Northern Ireland, we decided to visit a few locations up on the north coast of the country.
Scrabo Tower
I decided to take a run out to Scrabo Tower today.
It’s a place I’ve long wanted to visit but just never really had the proper motivation. Well, today was that day. I checked the weather forecast yesterday and the outlook for today was good (sunny).
When I got up it was looking a little overcast, and I Ideally wanted it to be clear if I was going to get a sunset from the top of the hill, so after checking the forecast again this morning I was pleased to see that the outlook for the rest of the day was still good.
So I packed the car and set off.
The tower itself is open most days of the year, but today I got there just a little too late to actually get inside it, so that’ll have to wait for another trip, but the weather was perfect to capture a really dramatic sunset as well as some great views from the hill, including an impressive sight of the Mourn Mountains.
