Up in the Mourne Mountains, a small but extremely scenic mountain range in Northern Ireland
View along the Causeway Coast in Ballintoy Port. Not a bad place for a seaside house.
Viewpoint from the coast near the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge
View of the North Channel with Rathlin Island (pop. 75) in the background
View from the Antrim Coast towards Rathlin Island (Reachlainn in Gaelic Irish)
Beware of the fighting - fictional traffic signs near the studio of the Bogside Artists
The size of the Causeway is best seen from the surrounding cliffs

Despite the city's relatively compact size Dublin's streets can be extremely busy
Architecture by St Stephen's Green, a public park in South Dublin

Southwest Ireland's weather is among the country's driest, with only about 200 rainy days a year
The ruins of St Kevin's Cathedral with tombstones lying flat on the ground
This is not a blurry shot - the effect is due to the dense plantation of pines
Not really an indigenous species, but it seems to like the place
The ridge of Camaderry that leads down to the valley of Glendalough
Hikers at the footbridge over the Glenealo river leading to the Spink ridge
To get a sense of scale: those specks on the sand are people
View from the the middle of the peat bogs covering the mountainside of Camaderry
The Glenealo River as seen from the Spink, a series of cliffs along the Upper Lake
From the footpath running around the edge of the Howth Head peninsula
