Book excerpt: This amazing set of photographs was taken during my first ascent of the mighty Carrauntoohil mountain in County Kerry, Ireland. This is Ireland's highest mountain. The really great thing though, is the fact that I picked the perfect day for ascending this rocky giant of a challenge. The 15th of April to be precise!The MacGillycuddy's reeks (the amazing mountain range, in which Ireland's summit is situated, is almost always sitting in a blanket of cloud. Therefore I was lucky enough to be given the perfect opportunity of shooting this set of images. An 06:30 start ensured lots of wonderful golden hour images. A Panasonic G3 fitted with a very high quality 25mm prime optic completed the deal. Happy days!A day I will never forget. A wonderful mountain.This mountain has many hidden dangers and obstacles to overcome for a safe ascent/descent. Make every step count. Also never hike alone. Experience is essential on these mountains.Enjoy.Simon.

Download or read book Occasional Salmon written by Neon Reynolds and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occasional Salmon traces the author's life from the point when he was born with only one hand, through his initiation into salmon fishing as a result of his father's fascination with the sport, until today. He mentions his disability only once and his readers may get to the end of the book and find they have forgotten it altogether. Successfully avoiding the danger of repeating endless stories of fish caught and lost, he includes numerous stories of personalities and events with quiet humour. He interrupts the angling theme to give an interesting account of life at Eton 50 years ago as well as to include recollections of his cricketing days and interest in the game. The book also includes a chapter about riding and the continuing threat to hunting. Mainly, however, he concerns himself with the people he has met and the fun he has had while salmon fishing, concentrating towards the end of the book on the threat to the Atlantic salmon.

Book excerpt: Ireland conjures up images of nature's majesty: sweeping coastlines, rolling green hills, and secluded peat bogs and marshlands. A place of legendary beauty, it is also a land with a rich natural history. Michael Viney invites us to discover the geologic forces that created the island, peer into the famous bone caves that hold unique clues about animals from long ago, and experience the dramatic scenes of the cliff-lined coast and tempestuous seas. Viney begins deep in the past, when rivers of molten rock and enormous glaciers stripped the land bare. Soon after the glaciers retreated, the island was transformed into a fresh, new landscape, home to an intriguing variety of plants and animals, and an environment that has cultivated a rich human history and inspired countless myths. Infused with the lyricism of Irish prose, Ireland: A Smithsonian Natural History is indispensable for anyone seeking to understand the natural beauty of the Emerald Isle.
