A certain part of the Mahon Falls valley in Waterford. The river does a kind-of u-turn to make a little island. The valley walls seem especially steep and you can just about see the sea in the distance. You sit there in near-silence and feel like a dot in the universe. I'm not religious but...

Getting the train from Seattle to San Francisco in USA - absolutely loved the Sierra Mountains.

Watching a lion chase down and kill a gazelle.

Myself and my OH got stuck in a shop during a thunder storm years back too. Went from a sunny 90+ day to completely dark in a matter on minutes. Eventually had to leave the shop because it wasn't passing over. Thunder claps setting off car alarms is a memory I will always have.

Wouldn't be one for really remembering nature and it's beauty, but one image will never leave my mind. Back in Sept 09 i was in Orlando. It was about 22.30 and i was in the hotel pool, suppin on a can. To my left, the fireworks from Seaworld. To my right, a lightening storm not too far away. It was amazing!

Same place as mine.

10kms off the Fastnet Rock and "Thar she blows!" whale breaths...
Magic!

Grand Canyon - check.

A graceful Basking Shark grazing away in Balscadden Bay many, many years ago.

Under a large murmuration of starlings on Bull Island. Amazing stuff, a bit like... (kicks off around 25secs in)

In a remote section of Killarney National Park about 5 years back, was walking along at dusk when about 15 deer just rose out of the mountain around me. I had managed to walk right into the middle of a large herd that was resting. Could never figure out how it happened as deer are so skittish and have such a great sense of smell.

Slieve League in Donegal. The cliffs of Moher are nothing in comparison

I grew up right beside the same lake and was about to say starling murmurations myself.

I've never seen one as massive and spectacular as that one though. Hugely impressive.

The Dublin mountains.

Sandymount beach.

The sally Gap.

Different parts of the wicklow way. I walked that with my mom.

The hell fire club. ( I spend a lot of my childhood messing around there !)

The Hag's Nipple in mullingar.

Powerscourt. (cultivated but still)

I love GARDENS.

There is now a field left wild in Marley like a meadow!

Since I was a teenager I always had an ambition to see the Rockies. When I was in Canada I was lucky to get a job out that way. I spent 6 months working at Moraine Lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. It was a really stunning place and I still think about the lake often. You'd pinch yourself everyday that you were being paid to live there. To stay in the lodge cost something like $600 CAD a night.

That was actually pretty hard to decide!

One morning I got up early to fish a small river near where I live, about 6 in the morning, early spring, everything had a coating of frost, really quiet, nobody around,

About half an hour into my fishing I notice downstream a v shape wave coming towards me so I stop in my tracks, I was kinda confused, so when the wave got to me I seen a huge otter swimming underneath it, then the otter spotted me and poked his head out of the water and just kinda threaded water starring straight at me and me starring back,

It felt like ages but was probably just a few seconds and then real casualy ducked his head under the water and carried on,

Ill never forget it

We are so lucky to have many choices in Ireland itself actually.

Iguazu Falls probably. Though Halong Bay was pretty awesome too.

There's a place in Japan called Kamikochi - it s tourist mecca in summer, but i love snow so I was more interested in getting there in winter.

I wasn't disappointed.

(not my pic, but basically what I saw)

Gonna jump the Grand Canyon bandwagon. It literally blows your mind.

:-) It's a nickname for a place in Fore westmeath. Also there is the Cat's stone near it.

Grand canyon probably for me too.

worthy mentions: Yosemite, halong bay. I climbed mt Fuji in Japan in terrible conditions but the clouds cleared briefly at the top, I didn't realise how high I was until that point because I saw nothing but mist and fog on the way up. Some of the scenery skiing in the french alps.

In terms of animals, I hugged and cuddled a panda at the conservation centre in Chengdu in china. They are as affectionate as puppies. Adorable. I'm a 29 year old guy and I had a bigger smile on my face and was more excited than anyone else there , I look slightly strange I'm smiling so much in the pictures.

Loughcrew hill was called the hag's hill or mounatin and all around that place from loughcrew to fore has nicknames like that.

The hags nipple. I have sat on the hag's nipple!

I have held lizards and snakes. :-) You can feel the pulse right through the entire body of a snake.

I have held odd things. I sometimes need a minute to screw up courage!
