Malin Head, Northern Ireland

MPBACK — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:20:06 GMT

I shot this photo during a recent trip to Northern Ireland. The light was fading, which seemed to make the location all the more mysterious.

I used my EOS R5 and my RF 24-104 f4 L zoom lenz.

I don't know why, but all I could think of, was giant rock trolls marching to the sea, with little ones in tow.

I like the photo you made. It brings back memories.

I seem to remember that some of the scenes for one of the Star Wars movies were filmed there.

I was last in Inishowen in 2013. I used older technology and could not yet afford enough storage to record raw. My wife had an Irish import business before we retired.

I made the 12 photos for this mosaic about 45 kilometers from Malin Head: https://www.a-wee-bit-of-ireland.com/eire_2013/2013aug04_Stroove_mosaic.html

This is a mosaic of photos made on August 4, 2013 and combined later. The place is near Moville, Inishowen, County Donegal, Ireland. I made the photos standing near GPS coordinates (55.2362111,-6.9276901). A legend associated with this place says that Columbcille (also called St. Columba) stopped here for one last look at Ireland before exiling himself to Scotland.

Thanks for your kind words. The areas I visited in northern Ireland, seem to be made for movies like Star Wars. I took the photos from Ireland were taken while on a excellent photo tour workshop. https://chasinglight.tours/ One of the other photos I took was from Dark Hedges. That location was featured in the Game of Thrones series.
Also, thanks for sharing your photos and website. You have some real nice shots there.
