Caricatures Ireland

This is my friend Ciaran on his hols in Thailand last year:

I just couldn’t help myself.

With apologies to Peter Jackson.

Went for a Sunday drive with the family to Lettermullen in Connemara yesterday after visiting the Coral Beach past Carraroe. As we neared the top of a hill we could see what appeared to be distant mountains- except they were moving. As we crested the hill we saw a sight that took our breath away. The sea was boiling up into 30-40′ waves that were crashing onto the coast, creating a thick spray that was being blown inland for miles. It’s hard to get a sense of the scale from the photos, but if you can imagine the sea wasn’t even a quarter mile from the shed above.

I’d never been out that far before and I’ve never seen waves that huge so close to land- and I grew up in Donegal! Sometimes the sights you see around Galway when on a whim you take that back road instead of driving on are a treasure, and Galway has so many of these hidden gems warped into the rugged coast that you could spend years finding them all.

As I mentioned previously, many people are using January to catch up on preparations for their weddings (and to anyone who’s got engaged this month- congratulations!).
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer I can personally recommend Vanessa Jordan. That’s her work above, and if you like that you should check out her website here. Vanessa is very friendly and highly professional and many brides have commented on how she puts them at ease from the moment she arrives.
So take a moment to view her portfolio! You can also contact Vanessa on 087 6609 083.
