Karst Landscape

The Burren (Irish: Boireann, meaning "great rock"), is a karsts-landscape region in northwest County Clare, in Ireland. It is one of the largest karst landscapes in Europe. The region measures approximately 250 square kilometres.

The rolling hills of Burren are composed of limestone pavements with crisscrossing cracks known as "grikes", leaving isolated rocks called "clints". The region supports arctic, Mediterranean and alpine plants side-by-side, due to the unusual environment.

Come to me my brother


It was a terrific coincidence to see a real life monkey just sitting beside the gold polished statue of a monkey guarding the gates of a hanuman (hindu deity) temple.

The Hole of Sorrows


Poulnabrone Dolmen (in Irish meaning "hole of sorrows") is a portal tomb dating back to the Neolithic period, probably between 4200 BC to 2900 BC.
The dolmen consists of a twelve-foot, thin, slab-like, tabular capstone supported by two slender portal stones, which lift the capstone 1.8m (6ft) from the ground, creating a chamber in a 9m (30ft) low cairn. The cairn helped stabilize the tomb, and would have been much higher originally. The entrance faces north and is crossed by a low sill stone.

This lady with a harp can be found almost every day on this busy street of Dublin. She seems happy fulfilling her appetite for music

After a Day’s Work


“ A photograph can be worth a gaze but impinging ”

A daily wage worker lives his life in days, everyday he has to struggle to make ends meet. The glimpse of hope and despair can be seen simultaneously on his face.
