North Atlantic Skyline - - Photographs from the west of Ireland (Galway, Mayo, Clare, Limerick, Roscommon and even Leitrim)

You're so vain - you probably think this post is about you

Well, you would be right. Before I start into 2008, let me first thank all the visitors to the site during last year and indeed, at any time since I started the site. I'd do the things I do - hill walking, wandering over ruins, photography and the like - even if no-one visited the site. But it's nice to know that there is a wider community of people who share some of my interests. A particular thank you to all of you who left a comment or two - they are much appreciated [and apologies if I didn't reply].

The purpose of the site remains the same since I began in 2002 - to document stuff that interests me in the west of Ireland. Over the years, the photography has taken over from the words a bit more, but the subject matter remains much the same - archaeology, landscape, whinging about the weather, photography, nature and history. Expect more of the same in 2008. I didn't get out as much as I'd have liked in 20o7 - I'm hoping to do far more landscape photography this year.[ I'm as interested in politics as the next person, but there is enough of the internet devoted to arguing about politics - domestic and international - already. I try to keep politics to a minimum here.]

I hope to freshen up the site in 2008 [mind you, I said the same last year]. As it is, I've added an option to buy prints of some of the images that appear here, and I hope to put some order on the photo galleries. But nothing too radical.

So again, go raibh maith agaibh and here's to an interesting 2008.
