Very nice! Great use of perspective. Was the lens set around 35mm?

If I recall correctly, about 30 degrees to the right of this photograph is a really cool looking stone building. Way cool. One of my most favorite locations anywhere. I'm thinking this is on the road to Finnisclin. I'd be nice to have one of those big rocks for my yard.

I thought Ireland was greener ! I like the rocks too.

Perfect sky. I wish there was a little extra something in the middle distance to hold my attention, but this is a nice shot.

Now this is my kind of country. Nice shot, love the colours. When is the next ferry...?

Thanks for the kind comments. It was taken on the road to Carna - that name meaning a pile of stones - very apropriate ;-) A bit like Cairn I suppose. Wayne, the lanscape is largely bog, interspersed with rock. In winter the top of the plants die and turn brown and only turn green again in spring/summer. Coming from Australia, it took me some time to get used to a landscape being brown in winter and green in summer. Most other parts of Ireland are green all year, though they are at their greenest in summer. Ferries sail daily, you could catch one at Cairnryan or Stranraer ;-)

This is a wonderful image, this place looks wild and windswept. This is the kind of picture that draws me into the scene. Thank you for sharing.

Really conveys a feeling of wildness and desolation - the sense of "being there" is great. To me , at least , that is one of the hallmarks of a effective image - to be able to imagine oneself standing in the photographer's shoes. I like this a lot.

I like this composition. Foreground rocks, water in the middle and "Pins" in the distance (look more like humps to me :>)

I like the way the colors transition from brown to gray to blue/white. This really adds dimension, I think.
