Irish landscapes

Back from a two week stay in Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare, I'll be sharing a few landscapes as they get processed. Burren is such a beautiful place to drive/walk around, and the small town of Ballyvaughan a great place to simply relax and enjoy a cozy peat fire at the cottage before going out to O'Loclainn's pub for a pint or a dram (and a song or two or three...) And mid-april (our favored vacation time) is just on the edge of heavy tourism time, so we got to enjoy the locals without feeling part of the overnumbering party

I only took one lens, so all pictures were taken with the M28 f3.5.

For starters, a couple of images of a church ruin near the town of Carran:

keep them coming....I like no,2

# 2 for me as well.

Thank you Saabs and Phil. Two more (not strictly landscapes, I guess the thread title should be more along the lines of "A trip to Burren" and not "Irish Landscapes") :

Our cottage's gates, with Galway bay across the road




Fánóir beach

On our way back to the cottage after walking Ballyvaughan's Wood Loop




The barn at the cottage

Really like these Serge... low key, quiet, very nicely observed...

Best

Thank you Bill, your words are much appreciated.

2 One looks different level of perfection!

2nd one for me as well.

Like these very much, Fanoir Beach is my favourite.

Thanks DSP, razashaikh and Pentaxophile.

And one from the pier at Ballyvaughan

And rocks, rocks and more rocks on Inis Oírr

Two more from Inis Oírr

And two more, taken at the same time on the same day. Some extreme (for me) post-processing for the colour one.

As far as I am concerned I think you have left the best until last.

Those two are absolute crackers.
