This past week I discovered a part of my locality that caught me completely by surprise. I have been to parts of the Cuilcagh Mountains in Cavan several times to photograph Tullydermot waterfall but had not discovered the Cavan Burren (a limestone plateau that is listed as an UNESCO Geopark and littered with megalithic tombs and glacial erratics). It is part of a small mountain range (approx. 600m in altitude) that is rich in colour from vast areas of bogland and valleys draped with fog.

This area could easily satisfy a comprehensive landscape photography project.

It is a reminder that we don’t necessarily have to travel to exotic locations to get amazing imagery, but with some investigation can find really rich pickings right on our own doorstep.
