The Emerald Isle is known for its gorgeous countryside.From the rugged cliffs of the Atlantic coast to the lush meadows and lakes of the interior, Ireland is rich in imagery both awe-inspiring and serene, where modern architecture rubs shoulders with Georgian townhouses and Norman stonework.From the remains of a Bronze Age ring fort to the soaring modern Spire of Dublin to the stallions of the National Stud, Ireland is a land of surprising variety. The rich color images collected here weave together the portrait of a land where Paleolithic monuments, medieval castles, quiet fishing villages, and bustling cities all exist alongside each other. A land of unbelievable beauty and richness in literature and folklore.
