Ulster Landscapes

The Copelands

Just happened to be driving past this one and managed to stop without causing to many accidents  :-$

Ketch off the coast

I've been out playing with my new 400mm lens and was lucky enough to come across this tidy picture when walking round Blackhead, County Antrim.  I could have lightened the clouds a little but after a bit of messing around, thought better of it and left it as it was.

Rathlin view

The distant Scottish hills of Islay as viewed from Rathlin Island.

I must admit I was amazed at just how close Scotland appears to be when viewed from Rathlin Island. There were a number of small sailing boats scooting up and down between the two countries on this beautiful summers day although there aren't any in the picture. With temperatures in the late twenties and a gentle breeze it was truly a day to remember for Northern Ireland.
