Willkommen auf My Emerald Blog – Mein grüner Irland-Blog
Ich bin Neil und schreibe seit 2015 als freier Autor in verschiedenen Formaten über meine Reisen in Irland. Seit Herbst 2021 lebe ich nun hier und nutze My Emerald Blog als Plattform für meine Erlebnisse. Dabei geht es hauptsächlich um Irland-Fotografie, weswegen ich auch eine Instagram-Seite unterhalte. Schwerpunktthemen von My Emerald Blog sind das Reisen in Irland und das Wandern in Irland. Beidem gehe ich seit meiner ersten Reise auf die Grüne Insel in 2009 nach.
The mural on the walls of this house on Cork City's South Main Street can be seen from afar. While this particular one has a critical background (housing crisis), I enjoyed the several colourful paintings across the city. Great work, nonetheless.

As mentioned yesterday, last year I spent a weekend in Cork City. It was my first time, so, I had to do the tourist stuff as well. Like walking through the famous English Market with no intention of buying anything 😏

Same time last year, I spent a weekend in Cork City. So, it feels right to share a few pictures from the trip.

A journey back in time. Back to the summer of 2010 when I was hillwalking in Wicklow for the first time in my life. Little did I know about the hills and about walking in general. I was not prepared, had no skills and no proper equipment. After a few days, my feet were sore and I welcomed the cold water of the Inchavore river, relieving my poor feet. Now, nearly 13 years later, this wouldn't happen to me again. But still, I enjoy putting my feet in a cold mountain stream after a long summer walk 🙂

Today it's black & white Sunday. And colour or not, the Cathedral Rocks look brilliant, no matter what. They are a part of Inis na Bró (Inishnabro), one of the Blasket Islands off the Dingle coast.

After the sun came out this morning, a beautiful winter picture unfolded. On a normal winter day, only the higher grounds of the Dingle mountains are covered with a layer of frost or snow. Not today. Today, we got an alpine kind of vibe coming from the hills.

Some shamrocks to green you up after Blue Monday. Seen last summer on the grounds of the woodlands that cover the lower slopes of Camaderry Mountain, northwest of Glendalough, County Wicklow.

A new thing I just made up is black & white Sunday. So, here is the first bw picture. A shot from a beach near Camp on the northside of the Dingle Peninsula.

Daneben habe ich im Jahr 2022 meine Stout Journey begonnen. Dabei probiere ich mich durch die Welt irischer (und internationaler) Stouts und Porter, auf der Suche nach dem besten Irish Stout. Entsprechend bin ich ebenfalls ein großer Freund von Irish Pubs und Bars. In diesen verbringe ich gerne meine Zeit, genieße die Atmosphäre und natürlich die verschiedenen Getränke. Neben Stouts sind das vor allem Irish Whiskeys. Hierin liegt meine große Leidenschaft. Deswegen führe ich mit dem Irish Whiskey Blog eine eigenständige Info-Webseite über irischen Whiskey.
Wer viel reist (und gelegentlich das ein oder andere trinkt), verträgt ein gutes Frühstück. Dabei funktioniert für mich ein Full Irish Breakfast besonders gut. Hierüber finden sich ebenfalls Infos auf den Kanälen von My Emerald Blog.
