  • One from a trip to Flagstaff Viewpoint the other week on a gloomy, overcast day. Just as I was getting ready to leave the sun began to break through the clouds and lit up Slieve Gullion with a lovely glow.<br />

  • Last time I was at Spelga the lady running the burger van recommended the view from the top of Slievenamuck, so last week when I got a chance I decided to head up there and I was greeted by this spectacular view!<br />
<br />
The gloomy, overcast skies provided a dramatic roof to my view back towards Spelga, whilst the low evening winter sun gave a wonderful golden glow to the horizon and beautifully lit up the leitrim valley off to the right. It was certainly well worth the trip!<br />

  • The other weekend I had a chance to get to one of my favourite places - Spelga Reservoir. Sadly the light dusting of snow which had been over the Mournes the day before was pretty much all gone, but the clouds broke nicely while I was there appreciating the view to light up the reservoir and the peaks of Cock Mountain and Slievenamiskan off to the right with a nice golden glow.<br />

  • This 240 degree view taken near the summit of Slieve Muck offers stunning views of the High Mournes and beyond to the coast and the mouth of Carlingford Lough.<br />
<br />
In the foreground to the left, the Mourne Wall can be seen winding along over Carn Mountain, Slieve Loughshannagh and curving up to the summit of Slieve Meelbeg, where it disappears from view.<br />
<br />
To the right of this sits the glimmering Lough Shannagh, flanked by a covering of purple heather and the heather-topped Doan, with the jagged peak of Slieve Bearnagh above it in the background.<br />
<br />
Above and beyond the cap of Doan lies the peak of Slieve Commedagh, lightly veiled by the intermingling cloud, which slopes on towards the mighty peak of Slieve Donard, whose summit is completely obscured by cloud.<br />
<br />
Cove mountain can be seen just below this, nestling between Commedagh and Slievelamagan, which continues the skyline rightwards, with its rugged slopes falling steeply down into Ben Crom Reservoir, which is mostly obscured by the shadowy heather-topped slope of Ben Crom in the foreground, with its mouth and dam just visible nestling between the mountains where the Mill River flows onwards to Silent Valley Reservoir.<br />
<br />
In the far background beyond the dam, the far away peak of Chimney Rock Mountain can be glimpsed, with the colossal bulk of Slieve Binnian then dominating the skyline, its jagged southern Tor being dramatically brushed by a cloud, and the thin sliver of Silent Valley Reservoir running along in front of it.<br />
<br />
The cloud-topped summit of Binnian then falls away toward Wee Binnian and Moolieve, before the Mourne Wall returns to the scene as it comes up and over Slievenaglogh.<br />
<br />
As the Mourne Wall runs down into the valley, Bann's Road can be seen crossing it as it heads down the valley along the shoulders of Slievenaglogh and Slievenagore, and onward towards the wood-topped Knockchree, which drops down towards the mouth of Carlingford Lough beyond it.

  • Another one from my trip the other week to capture the rainbow at Flagstaff Viewpoint, I captured this shortly before the rainbow formed looking back in the other direction towards Slieve Gullion. The low evening Sun was just managing to break through the clouds to provide some brilliant orange crepuscular rays and dramatically lit up the sheets of rain falling over the village of Drumintee.<br />

  • Sorry for not posting for a while, I've had a lot less time in recent months to spend on my photography and that combined with having a few shoots which didn't come out as hoped meant I kind of lost my 'photographic mojo' for a while there.<br />
<br />
I'm happy to say though that this brilliant double rainbow over Carlingford Lough helped bring it back :)<br />
<br />
I was on the way home from a holiday over in England recently making the drive up from Dublin back home and as I was coming close to the border I saw a massive rainbow off to my East side produced by the weather system that was following my direction of travel North. I knew if I turned off to go to Flagstaff Viewpoint when I reached Newry and waited, then I would probably be rewarded and indeed I was!<br />
<br />
After waiting around half an hour, this brilliant double rainbow formed over Carlingford Lough and it was truly wonderful to see. This 180 degree view composed of 7 photos at 18mm in portrait orientation really captures its magnificence well, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! :)<br />

  • Last night's sunset over Armagh was truly astonishing and one of those that gave the full variety of fascinating colours as dusk gave way to nightfall.<br />
<br />
I ended up spending around 45 minutes out there taking photos as the conditions changed minute by minute and ended up with 219 photos that went into 30 panoramas!<br />
<br />
This one was taken around 30 minutes after the sun set when the pinks, purples and reds were dominating the sky and the city's night lights were springing into life.<br />
