Photo Recharge for Your Soul – NI September 2023

Posted on September 16, 2023 by Gerry Lynch

A baker’s dozen of the best shots I took while back home this month. All photos © Gerry Lynch.

Looking west from the fancy new viewing point-cum-picnic area at Magheracross just west of Dunluce Castle. The peninsula that ends just below the setting sun is Portrush.
The tasks of early autumn—making silage near Meigh, County Armagh.
Reading the Financial Times in the beautiful Northern Room in Belfast’s Linen Hall Library: a 1990 decorative effort on Victorian themes.
I shot Scrabo silhouetted against the setting sun from the shore of Strangford.
RISE is the official name given to the public art sculpture located at Broadway Roundabout in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It has been given unofficial, colloquial titles that you may be more familiar with.
Carrick-a-Rede and Sheep Island from the Portaneevy Viewpoint, between Ballycastle and Ballintoy on the north coast of County Antrim. There is a nice, relatively new, car park here with purpose-built viewing galleries—a nice job by the local council.
Slieve Gullion from the bridge at Forkhill.
Castle Street, Ballycastle with the 1756 Church of Ireland parish church of Holy Trinity on The Diamond at the end. The scene is overlooked by the 514 metre high mass of Knocklayde.
Belfast city centre, poking out from behind Black Mountain, from the summit of Divis.
Squires Hill and Cave Hill from the summit of Divis.
Needs a lick of paint, but I love the east dome in the Bank Buildings on Belfast’s Royal Avenue.
Portrush in golden, if hazy, sunshine. Sadly, the best photographic perspective of East Strand nowadays is to poke the lens through the gates of some very expensive private flats on Causeway Street.
Oh, and, why not turn the baker’s dozen into fourteen with this shot of Dunluce Castle in hazy pre-sunset light?
