Mostly peaceful parades have nothing on these places and moments that I experienced in Ireland. I needed to remember and share a few beautiful places to wash away the ugliness and the anxiety of the peak of the marching season from my brain. All were taken December 2013 by me and none are Photoshopped, amazingly enough. The last one really feels like  July 13th….the calm after the storm.

Sunset on the Cliffs of Moher – or the Cliffs of Insanity if you love the Princess Bride

A beautiful resting place on the Island of Achill

County Mayo, on the way to Achill Island.
