Was on my was out from the town of Downpatrick in County Down and I saw a sign for Ballynoe Stone Circle. Since the weather was fine and i was in no great hurry anywhere I headed out there. I took this photograph to take in the main circle and the burial mound. There are a few stones outside the circle which are not in this photo. The taller stones seen here are around 2 meter’s high and could date back 3000 years BC. I enjoyed the solitude of the place, it had a peaceful feeling around it.

Here’s a link with more details and photo’s with the grass cut, enjoy and thanks for viewing

Big sky in County Monaghan

Walking the dog and the sun has just dropped behind the hill in the distance. The sky caught my eye, so leaving the dog to investigate whatever his nose was following. I set up and took this shot, doing very little processing this is day 248’s photograph.

I would like to thank you all for your likes and comments and with around 116 days still to go I am already planing my next project. There are days doing a 365 that push you to your limit, for me its time. There never seems to be that extra hour in the day but it also has taught me to think and find a photo quickly. I try to keep the processing to a minimum, and have found myself returning to B&W photography. I use to love shooting on B&W film many years ago, and my new projects will all be in monochrome.

Thank you for viewing
