I made this from a helicopter over Clew Bay after fresh snow had fallen on the upper slopes. Cold, clear, visibility stretching for miles. The kind of day you don't waste.
From directly above the coastal plain, Croagh Patrick looks volcanic. Almost too perfectly shaped to be real. The snow patches on the upper slopes caught the early afternoon light, and the shadow falling across the right flank gave the summit a sense of mass and weight you don't appreciate from ground level. You can see the pilgrim trail worn into the southern flank, that pale line scratched into the quartzite by thousands upon thousands of feet every year. Some of them barefoot, though that kind of craziness is less common than it used to be.
Clare Island sits out beyond the bay. The patchwork of fields on the plain below looks impossibly green against grey and white quartzite. I've photographed this mountain from the ground many times, but this perspective changed how I think about it. From up here you can see how it dominates everything around it. The settlements, the roads, the fields, all arranged around a single dramatic point.
I won't pretend there isn't something faintly absurd about photographing a place defined by physical hardship and devotion from the comfort of a helicopter. The pilgrims earned their view. I just borrowed mine!
