Not a great day weather wise yesterday but I decided to scout a couple of locations I had wanted to shoot up in Glencree Co. Wicklow, plus i knew Mina would enjoy the trip and the walk. Took these as prelim shots as I didn’t have tripod or decent lens with me. These were quite flat but a bit of photoshop managed to bring them up nicely.

The B&W pic here was taken at an amazing location, right at the top of the valley in Glencree. Walk down a dirt lane where there are two houses. One of these houses in particular is interesting. I remember going for a walk years ago with a friend of mine, Shane, in the same place. The house on the right at the end of this lane looked uninhabited as all windows were blocked with drawn curtains and the surrounding area was quite overgrown. We had a look around as it is in a stunning location and found a note in the window with simply a number on it. It was obvious it wasn’t a phone number.

Upon a return a few weeks later we noticed that the number had changed…..ah! It was an ESB meter reading. So, Someone did visit the house regularly….. Anyway, we both pondered who owned it and would they sell it!

Anyway, I was quite interesed to see what had become of this place and low and behold, it hasn’t changed one bit. Hmm….
