A shot of the moon taken last Saturday evening as it rose over Knockvorneen in Finvarra, by the Flaggy Shore (taken a while before these pictures) . The moon’s size is exaggerated because I used a large [640mm] focal length lens.

Here is a short video taken of the moon as it rose behind the hill [I began the recording after I took the picture above].It was recorded using a Canon G9 digital compact camera which has a built-in timelapse feature [the video covers about an hour of actual time].

The Martello tower at Finvarra, Co. Clare, photographed on Sunday evening. This is what the tower looks like during the day, and here are a couple of shots [1,2] of the Flaggy Shore, beside the tower.
