Not been here for awhile but just a quick post to plug my new book of landscapes and portraits from the western end of West Kerry. Find more about it in the link below. Last postage date for Christmas delivery for Ireland is Tuesday the 16th in case anybody's thinking of getting one.

I spent the shortest night of the year up high in the hills, seeing the sun hit the horizon at 10:09pm and watching slow-pulsing drifts of mist come and go on the cooling slopes of the mountain. From my bivvy I thought I could make out mountains to the north, maybe those of Connemara, or perhaps even Achill (120 miles away) according to the bearing I took. Or maybe it was a glimpse of Hy Brasil. After a short few hours sleep I spent the early morning pottering around a wild and rugged part of the range I'd not visited before while skylarks sang loud and sheep calls echoed off the mountain walls. Going up mountains always feels like going away to another world, and I was slow to pack up and head back down to the regular one.

Spent today editing some of the many images I made over the past few weeks of fine weather, including this beautiful backlit puffin from last Monday. Thanks to Tom Ormond for inviting me out on this particular day. It's been a gorgeous start to the summer in Ireland.

It's been a poor spring weather-wise in West Kerry, but a great season for the liamháin gréine. Early this week I followed this train of seven basking sharks with my drone for a short while and watched as they moved from a bunched up V formation into this pleasing pattern of equidistant animals.

Been a quiet few months with the camera so here's one from a beautiful morning earlier in the year during a run of great trips to the hills.

First light on Mount Brandon last Tuesday morning. I had two good days in the hills with a good friend this past week. Rare days of untrodden snow and sublime light and other kinds of magic that can only be found on high ground. This small range of modest hills just keeps on giving.
