 | Ireland |
| The island of Ireland extends over 84,421 kmē of which five-sixths belong to the Republic, with the remainder constituting Northern Ireland. The west-coast of Ireland mostly consists of cliffs, hills and mountains (the highest point being Carrauntoohil at 1,041 m). In from the perimeter of the country is mostly relatively flat farmland, traversed by rivers such as the River Shannon and several large lakes or loughs. Most of the regions of Ireland were formed by glaciation in the last Ice Age of 20,000 to 10,000 years ago. |

Not counting a visit to Northern Ireland when I was a young child, about which I can remember very little, my first visit to Ireland was in 1968. When I get time I'll dig out some of my old slides of this trip and if there's any worth a second glance I'll add them here. The first set of images were all taken on a visit to Co. Kerry in the spring of 2005. |
