Explore Ireland With Beautiful Art Book

By Clyde Banosia


Traveling to Ireland would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience exploring everything from the scenic Wild Atlantic Way to the picture-postcard towns in the Lakelands and the sublime pleasures of cities like Dublin. But, it doesn't necessarily need to have all that travel and the attendant hassles. A NY travel photographer has been there and done all that.

The advantages are pretty obvious, considering that most people would be hard-pressed to take a jetliner across the Atlantic for a holiday. Not to mention the hassle of traversing the length and breadth of 26 different counties. It's now possible to skip all this pain and enjoy the same thrill of Irish holidays with an art book.

Those who get the book will actually be able to skirt past a vacation's most distasteful parts. County Clare's Cliffs of Moher are an iconic sight and among the mos-visited tourist attractions in the country. Unfortunately, this popularity also means that visitors have to face a tourist trap experience with expensive parking, hordes of tour groups, gift shops and other such commercialized aspects.

Anyone thumbing through an art book gets to bypass all the commercial kitsch and simply enjoy the cliffs towering hundreds of feet above the Atlantic. Similarly, a visitor may be having a wonderful time wallowing in the warmth and comfort of heady Irish brews in the pubs of Dublin. Under these circumstances, a two-hour train trip from Dublin to see the medieval capital of Kilkenny hardly seems the wise thing to do.

The trip to the picturesque location is very much possible for someone in their own home who just needs to turn a page. A blink of an eye and the flip of a page is all that's needed to get from Dublin to Kilkenny. There's no train fare either.

Consider the famed Blarney Castle in County Cork. Legend has it that anyone who kisses the Blarney Stone is blessed with eloquence, otherwise known as the gift of the gab. Well, find out if the same blessing comes with a kiss of an NY travel photographer's pictures of the Blarney Stone. Each one speaks a thousand words, so they are indeed gabby.
