Achill Island’s “Stone Henge”.
This is a digitally manipulated image of Achill Island’s “Stone Henge”. I went there specifically to photograph on the night of the full moon but cloud cover had other ideas.
This full sized replica of Stone Henge was built over the course of one weekend as a protest.

“A Woodland Mystery”
In this image, an old, weathered wooden chair is placed incongruously in the middle of a dense, moss-covered forest. The chair, partially buried in pine needles and surrounded by fallen branches and undergrowth, seems out of place among the tall, closely-packed evergreen trees. Sunlight filters through the canopy above, casting dappled light on the forest floor, while bright green moss climbs the trunks of the trees, creating a vivid contrast against the darker, earthy tones. The scene evokes a sense of mystery and curiosity, as if the chair is a forgotten relic or part of a hidden woodland story.
