IRELAND 2015 Part II - Achill Island and Wicklow Mountains


Here's the 2nd part of my trip to Ireland in 2015. The 1st part was about my way up to Achill Island. The 2nd part is all about Achill and a little bit about the Wicklow Mountains, which I passed by on my way back to Germany. Enjoy!


Achill Island

On the day of my arrival the "Battle of the lake" was on, a kite- surf event on Keel lake, which is pretty much directly next to my holiday home.

Achill at night. Please excuse the poor handwriting - it was my first attempt of drawing with light...

Poor joy on Achill is when the sun comes out. Especially when there are some clouds around for us photographers.

A daytrip I do on most of my vacations on Achill Island is a trip to the Kylemore Abbey. I use to do a roundtrip along the Doolough valley in one direction and directly along the mainstreet in the other. I had very nice weather when I did the trip in 2015. so enjoy!

I really love sunsets and on Achill they´re always different. Here are some :-)


Wicklow Mountains

Last stop on my trip to Ireland in 2015 was in Laragh in the Wicklow Mountains. I totally adore Glendalough and like doing a walk around the whole estate every time I pass by the Wicklow Mountains.
