Autumn

Most of the photographs in this gallery ware made at Cloghleagh, otherwise known as Manor Kilbride, in North County Wicklow. The area features a small wood on a south facing hillside through which a small stream flows to join the River Liffey. This is a superb location to admire the colours of Autumn and one of my favourite spots for photographing landscape. The Gallery contains a selection from Autumn 2003 and 2004.
