My summer trips back home to Ireland are always refreshing. There is a certain re-grounding that happens to me while I’m there. It rejuvenates my creative spirit and just makes me feel more human and real again.

On this trip, Ireland’s coastal scenery grasped my attention as it seemed to shift away from its usual unrestrained tides -brisk and wild, towards a more tranquil visage… Calm seas alongside jagged cliffs and rough terrain seem to reflect the culture and energy of the neighboring communities. When the Irish seas are quiet, these is a wonderful serenity in the wash of the waves as they kiss against the stoney shore… With camera in hand -I strove to capture the essence of this place. I hope you can get a sense of the unique beauty and mood from the images below.
