Miss you

Tuesday, September 17, 2013

I'm missing Ireland something awful recently. I haven't been back in a while, and I've been looking back through some of my old photos to recapture the feeling of wonder I have every time I'm there. Going to Ireland for me quickly becomes all about visiting family and friends and I sometimes forget that it's also an incredibly beautiful country where the light is always perfect and the vistas have the power to blow me away. The sky is so changeable - one moment the green and blue will overwhelm, and the next the grey skies descend and the clouds feel inches away from your face.

In an effort to miss it a little less, I gathered a few of my shots from the last time I was there (it's been a few years, and I feel awful about that). Please excuse my soft shots - I didn't have my Nikon a few years ago.









I have to go back soon. I can't stop thinking about that perfect light.

Slan Leat,
dervla

  1. Do you miss a place or its people? Can picture postcards moments kindle longing?

    1. For me it's how it makes me feel when I'm there. That feeling of longing goes away as soon as I land in the country.

  2. So lovely. Reminds me of my time there.
    Where is your family? Are there certain areas you always visit?

    1. My family is a bit scattered, spread from Cork to Westmeath, from Dublin to Galway. I always visit Tipperary, Westmeath, Galway, and Cork for sure.
