As it would appear, that we have a good geographic spread (Laois, Wicklow, Meath, Cork) of APUG members here in Ireland, and we have our outing to look forward to, I was thinking that it might be good to share some of our personal favourite locations around the country so that we might get some hidden gems from each other. My personal favourite would be the Hook Peninsula (especially around the lighthouse), there is a great variety of subjects down there: Landscapes, Derelict buildings, Castles, Lighthouse, Rocky seascapes, beaches, forest parks etc. I also love the west around Letterfrack, Leenane & Kylemore Abbey.
Anywhere you get to see "another pile of rocks" is good.
Only been to Ireland once (3 weeks of fun), but I was never at a loss for photographic material anywhere I went. I think the best images I made were of the people in and around the pubs. Countless opportunities to celebrate the Irish people.

You can do lots of water sports on the Lough or hike up Sleive Foy. Or if you want to relax there are plenty of pubs and restaurants. Some nice historic sites also like the Castle and Abbey.

i've never been but i would love to
go and photograph the olde cormac's chapel -
the one with the roman hypocaust heating system
(central heat) and the ornate scandinavian-looking
sarcaphagous ... i think it is in kerry / cork ...
I dont have any favourite places as such, I do like nice simple landscapes like inland lakes, bogland, the burren, lines of pineforest in the morning mist. Seascapes like achill island. I also like decaying scenery like dublin docklands [now disapearing] and rusting ships like the quay in westport. I like evertything from horsefairs to fruitmarkets and some old time barber shop on a sidestreet in the back of beyond
Great thread though, I'm looking forward to following this one.
