At the front of my house lay the hills of Burren, a beautiful and extraordinarily rich ecosystem carved by rain and shaped by humans through generations of farming and gathering. Many passing visitors will describe the Burren as a harsh rocky landscape lashed on by Atlantic winter storms, with the occasional tortured shrubs dotting the limestone pavements otherwise bare of any vegetation. Is this all there really is to it?

With Burren hills and lowlands at my doorstep I am fortunate to venture out as much as possible, often disregarding hopeless weather forecasts. I have witnessed the seasons change and continue to observe the variation of light on the landscape as sun and moon change trajectory throughout the months. I have also seen many native orchids, fabulous blooms of colourful wild flowers, vivid green hair algae, alpine rainforests, otters, badgers, porcupines, foxes, not to mention herds of ferral goats and countless rabbits and hares!

I have come to love the Burren and appreciate all it has to give for it hosts perhaps the richest ecosystem in Ireland. I hope my photography will bring you to a place you have not expected to find.

A place where the light can be nothing short of magical.
