The Cliffs of Moher


The Cliffs of Moher are the highest cliffs in Ireland. Situated in the County Clare, West Ireland, they are more than 200 metres high. When the weather is good, the view is stunning as you can see above ! What else could I say about the cliffs... oh yes : if you go there, don't hesitate to go through the sign "Private property, please don't go any further", you will find there the best views of the Cliffs !

Connemara National Park - Sheeps story


Small sheeps crossing roads in the Connemara National Park, so beautiful ! I have to say that there are pretty hard to shoot, because they are used to cars but not to people... so they don't move when the cars pass by, but they run away as soon as you get off of the car, clever !

Connemara National Park


The Connemara, I bet it rings a bell to everybody. This wonderful area is filled with lakes, hills, bays and the Irish language is still spoken. It's not rare to see some sheeps into the wild, crossing roads... The magic thing with this part of Ireland is that every part of it is different, the landscapes are amazing, the colors are splendides and the views are spectacular ! It's a real pleasure to drive through these roads, discovering all the treasures it has to offer. If you have the chance to go there, make sure you will go to the Sky Road, off Clifden. This road drives you to the west coast, with a unique view all the way long !

Windows

Like everywhere, Ireland has got loads of windows throughout its cities, above is one from Galway (West Ireland). I like to look at them while walking down the streets, especially when it shows an artistic or antique side. One thing I noticed here, the numbers : they are displayed in big size, which is particularly unusual for me but I like that style. I might post others windows later on...
