This book shares with you these mercurial manifestations over the Emerald Isle, captured by me during various seasons and times of day.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWhat beautiful pictures. The colors are magnificent. The landscape is unbelievable. Makes me look really a whole lot forward to going to Ireland and seeing all these sites. Anyone who is interested in Ireland should look through this book and read it’ll just describe how beautiful it must truly be there!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAmazing photos of Ireland. Many show the spectacular sunrises in colors of pinks and oranges. I would love to visit the country just to see the sunrise and some old castles. Can't wait to get to volume 2!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI really enjoyed this book, the pictures are other-worldly. I finished it and then made my husband sit and watch with me. He was really impressed also. I hadn't seen so many stars since I was a little girl and lived in the country. Also one can never go wrong with castles! Castles are one thing that our great country (USA) is missing.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2014Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI have been enjoying going through this enchanting book. The pics are so beautiful. I have never been to Ireland, but now I think I will go there sometime. I never thought of this until now. James Truett is a very talented photographer and did an awesome job with this book. Highly recommended if you love to watch brilliant photos!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseSomeone is a very good photographer and seems to be well versed in Lightroom. The photos are stunning! But most of them could have been taken anywhere. There are some nice castle ruins, gravestones, and a stone circle, but otherwise there were a bunch of nature shots that looked like they could have been in the U.S. or Australia or anywhere else in the world. Nice color-enhanced skies. Didn't really feel whisked away to the Emerald Isle.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2014Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe photographer captures lovely Celtic Skies, but I was very disappointed that only a few photos actually captured the landscape of beautiful Ireland. Without the land for a reference, these photos could be anywhere in the world. If Mr. Truett had framed both landscape and sky, I would have truly felt the enchantment.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2014Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe photographs in this book are beautiful, I personally love photos of sunrises and sunsets and appreciated the time and effort involved in taking and assembling these photos. It makes me want to experience a sunrise or sunset in Ireland…maybe one day.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2014Format: KindleVerified PurchaseReally enjoyed these photographies. The skies are magnificent: I had not idea that you could see such skies in Ireland. Want to go back right away to the book after reviewing.....
