The Lodges at Kilbeg Pier

20/08/2024

The stillness of the boats on Lough Corrib mirrors the quiet, almost
lonely expanse of Connemara's rugged beauty, where time seems to stand
still. Yet, within this solitude lies the heart of Ireland's charm.

Stunning picture of the sky over Ross Errilly Friary - just 5 miles up the road from the lodges

Milkyway peaking through the clouds over Ross Errilly Friary. I finally got to head out on a photoshoot with my good friend Sean McCormack Photographer

What a busy day I had, travelled to Galway to chat on Garry Talks podcast GK Media , then met Sean for food and headed out for a sunset and a possible milkyway shoot. And what a result! Totally worth the long 3 hour drive home at 2am.
