Ireland Photo Tour 

Wednesday August 21st, 2013

Another great day of travel and photography here in Ireland. We started out our morning by visiting the Marble Arch Caves near Enniskillen in Northern Ireland. The outing was amazing. One would never guess there was something like this in Ireland.  The caves run some 300 feet underground formed by underground streams.  On a combination of electric boat and walking we did 3/4 of a mile of beautiful underground landscape.

In the afternoon we visited Glencar waterfalls and Creevelea Abbey.  Both of our afternoon photo shoot locations yielded some beautiful images.

Tomorrow we leave the Sligo area and travel to Letterkenney were we will be for our next two evenings.  Enjoy the images from todays blog.
