Description
This part of Ireland (Achill Island) was considered to be the spiritual home of Louis MacNeice 1907 -1963 my favourite Poet. His father was born in this part of Ireland, and much of his career success was due to a generous lady who admired his work who came from the region. In my forthcoming trip to Ireland it is a place I plan to visit again..
Perhaps for me his greatest poem "Prayer before Birth",
written long before the troubles of today I find so strangely prophetic it beggars belief..

Beautiful!
Excellent capture.
Just stunning! Ireland's on my definitely-must-see list....
Excellent view! Maybe the life is beautiful because is not 'perfect'!
It looks so peaceful here and I would agree, well worth another visit.
Just beautiful Dan. I have to get there someday. John
Lovely capture. Though to me seems very desolate. Perhaps the isolation could be a good venue to get in sync with your inner muse though.
nice shot...
Awww yes, I remember you mentioning this poem, it is a powerful intense poem, with incredible insights!!!! A beautiful image too Danny, I hope you enjoy your trip!! I'm sure you will... ;-)
Beautiful image! The colour of the water and the green of the hillside is just stunning.
Beautiful scene and capture, Excellent well done..
Such a beautiful landscape, Danny. I surprised myself that I so enjoyed the landscape of Cornwall and your landscapes of Ireland, when I usually prefer wooded areas to land barren of trees. A lovely image and a poignant poem, so applicable, especially now.
Wonderful and incredible place, have a great beauty....!!! Fabulous photo Daniel....!!!!
