IRELAND'S HIDDEN BEAUTY
THE TOWERING Irish cliffs of Moher stand tall over the rippling Atlantic Ocean. From Giant's Causeway to the rolling hills surrounding Keylemore Abbey, these stunning photographs capture the true beauty of Ireland -across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The beautiful images were captured by 32-year-old Gareth Wray, of Strabane, Northern Ireland, who has been photographing these rural landscapes since he was a child. Gareth says “I decided to capture these images to show members of the public who have never visited Ireland what true beauty it really holds.
