Ireland landscape - spectacular scenery
Ireland landscape, apparently 82% of visitors to Ireland come for the scenery which is hardly surprising. Sculpted over the millennia by both natural and human forces Irelands' landscapes have been formed into no end of dramatic photo opportunities! From the wild, storm lashed coastlines of the Atlantic Ocean to the tranquil, rolling hills of the Magical Midlands or the world renowned limestone Karst region known as the Burren Resplendent in wild flowers during the spring and early summer on the surface, yet home to a dramatic underground world of caves and watercourses, including the longest stalactite in Europe at Doolin Cave . All of these Irish landscapes are steeped in myths, legends and fairytales, stretching back to the age of the Celts and Newgrange or 'Bru na Boinne' and way beyond....
A lifetime would be too short to truly appreciate all of the different Ireland landscape and that is not even counting the Islands which are delightful pocket sized versions of the mainland. And what is really remarkable and the stuff of Hollywood legends are the dramatic differences in colour that can happen with the play of light or weather on these lovely vistas from one minute to the next. If you are into photography try to come to Ireland in early May when it is at its greenest or in late September when the light is low and places like Connemara are completely magical.
But anytime is a good time really and if you choose to do a road trip or take a coach tour around any of the following you certainly won't be dissappointed....
