The Cliffs of Moher

Barry W. Hollritt, 1996

Situated in County Clare and bordering the Burren Area, the Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most spectacular sights. Standing 230 metres above the
 ground at their highest point and 8km long, the Cliffs boast one of the most amazing views in Ireland. On a clear day, the Aran Islands are visible in 
Galway Bay as well as the valleys and hills of Connemara. To the south of the cliffs is Hag's Head and the cliffs reach their highest point just north of 
O' Brien's Tower. The Tower was built by Cornelius O' Brien, a descendant of Brian Boru, to impress female visitors. I arrived on a cold, rainy windy, 
wonderful Irish morning to spend a few hours at the cliffs.  Using one of my medium format cameras, I attempted to preserve the barren Irish western 
coastline in typical Irish weather.  The storm clouds rolling in are an important part of the composition.  This is Ireland at it's best and it is less 
than two hours from Shannon Airport!
