Slemish Mountain is in Co.Antrim, to the east of the town of Ballymena. Traditionally, it is said to be the first Irish home of St Patrick, who tended sheep as a slave boy on its slopes.Slemish (Slieve Mish) is around 1500 feet above the surrounding plain, and is visible for many miles around.

I visited the area on Friday 17th May 2019, and with a few minutes to spare between jobs, I had the time to make a number of different exposures, just to see how the images would turn out. I used the Fujifilm X-T2.

Politics seems to intrude into even the most rural and peaceful scenes…
