🤩 Meet Pine Island on Derryclare Lake, one of Ireland's most photographed spots. With the majestic Twelve Bens as its backdrop and dramatic Scot's Pine trees, it's a favorite photo op along the N59 in #Connemara.

Pro-tip: Don't just take the photo! Spend some extra time exploring the ancient oak woodland at the nearby Derryclare Nature Reserve.

Lovely Pine Island in Connemara, seen here under a stormy sky but with a fine reflection.

One of my favourite photography locations and landscape scenes.

Home to a few native Scots pine trees that would have once covered much of Ireland, this year's National Tree Day in Ireland sees primary schools able to plant a Scots pine tree.

A wide, panoramic landscape photograph of Pine Island in Derryclare Lough, Connemara, by Panoramic Ireland. In the center, a small island crowded with distinctive Scots Pine trees sits in the calm, dark water of the lough, creating a near-perfect reflection. Behind the island, the rugged, brownish slopes of the Twelve Bens mountain range rise up, their peaks partially obscured by low-hanging grey clouds. The foreground is filled with a textured carpet of autumnal bracken in vibrant shades of rust, orange, and brown, contrasting with the cool tones of the water and sky. The overall mood is serene and atmospheric.

Classic U-shaped valley at Binn Chaonaigh in the Maamturk mountains yesterday

Binn Chaonaigh is Irish for "Peak of Moss", but the mountain really abounds in heather

Landscape photo from a rocky plateau between mountain peaks in the west of Ireland, looking down on a grassy green valley, with more mountains in the misty distance beyond them. To the left and right in the middle ground rise ridges forming a classic "U" shape, a legacy of glacial erosion. The predominant colours and grey exposed rock and scree, and dark green scrub and heather; the sky is grey and the distant mountains bluish.

Not an easy place to reach on Inchagoill island, specifically for a fat guy like me. Despite the "ecstasy" of reaching the place, and feeling the need to shoot a panorama here to document the place, yet it was hard for me to create much out of it - it's simply grass and an old structure (dating back to 1800s and filled with graffiti)... and wasps!
This panorama here is a remake made from RAW files instead of HDR, and even though in the past I've made various projection styles out of this panorama, this one here was just about enough. Placing the structure at the center didn't click with me for some reason, so just to break the balance a bit here I've placed it on the right.

I think I've posted this panorama before, but the very first version of it which was done using HDR. This one here is a remake of that one but using camera RAW (edited) only. And I kinda prefer this one (but I had to edit that flare a bit and make it more dramatic, sort of).
Location: The Gothic church in Connemara, some walk away from Kylemore abbey.
