Ireland Photography for Sale

Finally... after 4 months of being back in the U.S., I have a gallery online for all those who asked if they could purchase prints of my Ireland Photography from our trip this past March. If you are interested, click here to view the gallery. You can also just go to www.raebarnes.com and click on proof galleries on the far right. A new directory will open, and Ireland Photography is near the bottom. There is not a password. We, of course, took more photos than this, but we felt that these were the most appropriate for resale. For the next 5 days only, there is a $15 discount for all orders placed for Ireland photography. Please, email me with any questions.

Galway, Ireland

On one of our last days in Ireland, we travelled down to Galway. It was a rainy day (no big surprise there), but it was still fun. We did some shopping, and I felt like the biggest tourist ever by taking pictures in the stores... but I just couldn't help it! The pottery there is just beautiful. On our way back, I spotted this old cathedral- ends up it was a friary from the 13th century. So creepy, but so beautiful! The wide shot was taken by my brother in law- it was rainy, and there was a large stone wall to jump over... not to mention a hubcap they thought was there's. Anyway, ends up we could just walk in the gate around the corner... Thanks anyway, Tim! Nice shot!

Cliffs inthemiddleofnowhere Ireland- West Coast

Third installation of images from Ireland... Only one or two more... I feel like an idiot for forgetting the name of these cliffs or at least the town, but it really was the middle of nowhere. I believe the next town over only spoke Irish (aka Gaelic, ie. We didn't understand the signs or the people). These cliffs were just stunning, as was the long drive there. Check out the wild life! (no I do not mean my husband Chris) ;-)

Westport, Ireland

Not to be confused with Westport, NY (which is also pretty), Westport Ireland was so fun. There were bright colored buildings and doors everywhere! I just wish I could've done an engagement session while we were there. We went out with the whole clan, which meant that there were 13 of us... Chris's 2 aunts, 2 uncles, 3 cousins, Uncle Tony, dad, mom, and brother Tim... Another Lucky 13. So, I just decided to have another 13 favorite images today from Westport. Uncle Tony is walking into Paddy Powers to bet on his horses in one of these images, and the last image is of my sweet mother-in-law. Happy viewing!

P.S. The scene with the mountain is not actually in Westport, but we saw this scene that same day...

Lucky 13 - Ireland Shots

Okay, it is very late, and my husband has been in bed for 2 hours already... But, the last thing he said before he went to bed was "feel free to stay up if you want to work on those Ireland pictures. I want everyone to see them." So, here I am- feeling free as a bird. I have 13 images to share with you tonight, and this is only the beginning... Chris' Great Uncle Tony's farm/land/home. Uncle Tony is just a riot- so witty and lively. He is an 88 year-old bachelor that rides his bike into town on a regular basis (unless he feels like he should take his tractor, of course). This is the simple life in the truest of meanings: tend the cattle, drink a spoonful of whiskey with your tea, start a fire with the turf to keep warm, boil dinner in a kettle over the fire, ride your bike into town, bet on some horses, talk to your lifelong friends in the pub, drink some Smithwick's or Guinness... The land has been in the family for many many years- Chris' grandmother was raised in what is now a shed for the cattle. Ireland was my playground. :-)
