Irish summer

These pictures where shot in the space of 2 or 3 days. You can score all four seasons in Ireland in such a timeframe.
Parking the car to visit the Ulster Museum. A rainy grey Agincournt Avenue, The Holylands, Belfast. Grim.
Rain shower over Downings or Carrigart, Donegal. Shot from Fanad Head on return from a surf dawn patrol. Typical Failte Ireland (Irish tourist board) shot.
Blue skies over grazing land behind Glassagh strand on Fanad Head, Donegal. Picnic location, picnic weather.
Lough Neagh rushes in the morning sunlight. Oxford Island, Lough Neagh, Co. Armagh. The Heritage and Discovery Centre there will tell you how baskets and eel traps are woven from these very plants...
Typical euro summer sky. It's warm, but it might just rain. Bring a rain jacket or not? Either Moira, Co Armagh or Bruxelles. But it could easily be anywhere in northern Europe during summer.
