These are BEAUTIFUL. What time of year were these taken. I'm planning a trip there in May with my nephew in search of our ancestors. I have found some relatives and they sent me a couple photos of what's left of their farmhouse in Tyrone. Thanks for sharing these.

Thanks PhotoPhred. We were there in October. I had actually planned on going to Dingle in Co. Kerry, but my flight got cancelled at the last minute and I lost two days so we headed up to Antrim because it was closer. So glad we did. Dingle is wonderful, but I think Antrim was right up there with it. BTW - genealogy is my other hobby. I have nearly 3,000 relatives in my family tree - 99% Irish.

Thanks for the info. I looks like the weather was nice. My nephew is turning into the family historian. His dad, my late brother Bill, had that title. I know the 3/4 of my family came from Ireland. The the 1/4 is Pennsylvania Dutch (German) farmer and he married an Irish girl. We are really looking forward to the trip. We have 2 weeks to explore. Here is one of the photos of the farmhouse. Thanks again.

I found that the boat launching system in the second photo very interesting. All in all a very interesting picture.

Thanks Bill. Good catch on the boat derrick. Here is one taken from above the fisherman's cottage. In the old days, they would string nets between the rocks to catch salmon and then go down and just haul them out of the water.
