About the photographer : John Smyth lives in Galway and takes pictures. Mainly landscape and wildlife around the west of Ireland, but also pretty much anything that goes on in Galway City. Click on the Blog menu link (http://www.monasette.com/blog/) for regular pictures from the West of Ireland.

Flaggy Shore (Burren) : The Flaggy Shore is a small area of coastline in Co. Clare near New Quay where the flat stone of the Burren meets the sea. The force of the sea has left a mix of worn, flat stone steps (like flag stones, hence the name) along with lots of beautiffuly rounded limestone rocks. I've been over there plenty of times and wrote about it here, here, here, here and here [I haven't finished processing all the pictures for sale yet].

Mweelrea and Doo Lough : Mweelrea is the name given to a set of mountainous ridges that 'guards' the northern side of the mouth of Killary Fjord (the fjord marks the border between Galway and Mayo). At 816 metres, it is the tallest mountain in Connacht, and one of the trickier to climb. There are a few narrow steep ridges but mainly, one is nearly alway guaranteed some cloud on the top, making navigation difficult. I've climbed it a few times (it's one of my favourites) and the view (if you can get it) is well worth the climb. See http://www.monasette.com/archive/000968.html & http://www.monasette.com/archive/001146.html for accounts of hikes in Mweelrea.

Salthill Promenade, Galway : A series of pictures taken by the Blackrock diving board at the end of the promenade in Salthill in Galway.. The first nine pictures were taken just after the moon had risen over Galway Bay one evening in September 2007 and the following pictures were taken at dawn one morning during October 2007. The reason there are multiple versions of some images in the gallery is because those images are available with and without white border (and in some cases, 2 different sized border). When you click on the "buy" icon, you will see all available sizes for that image. For any image, the price of the "Gloss" and "Matt" finish is the same, and "Lustre" is more expensive (it is more expensive to print). If you have any questions on a particular image, just leave a comment under the image and I will answer it for you.

St Brigid's Well, Killare : St. Brigid's Well, at Killare, Co. Westmeath. It's near the legendary Hill of Uisneach, and the easiest way to visit the well is to park at the nearby Uisneach Inn and walk back to it.
