Feel the Burren Light!

At the front of my house lay the hills of Burren, a beautiful and extraordinarily rich ecosystem carved by rain and shaped by humans through generations of farming and gathering.

Many passing visitors will describe the Burren as a harsh rocky landscape lashed on by Atlantic winter storms, the occasional tortured shrubs dotting the limestone pavements otherwise bare of any vegetation.

With Burren hills and lowlands at my doorstep I am fortunate to venture out as much as possible, often disregarding clueless weather forecasts. I have witnessed the season changes and continue to observe the variation of light on the landscape as sun and moon change trajectory throughout the months.

I have also seen native orchids, fabulous wild flowers, vivid green hair algae, alpine rainforests, otters, badgers, porcupines, foxes, herds of ferral goats and countless rabbits and hares!

I have come to love the Burren and appreciate all it has to give for it hosts perhaps the richest ecosystem in Ireland. I hope my photography will bring you to a place you have not expected to find.

A place where the light is nothing short of magical.
