IRELAND 2012 Calendar

Magical Ireland. The emerald Island in the Atlantic Ocean exerts an almost magical attraction to its visitors. Responsible for that are surely Ireland's unique landscapes, the rugged Atlantic coastline, the gently rolling green hills, peaceful beaches or the great lakes. Also a certain kind of mysticism goes out from ancient ceremonial sites of the Celts, ruins of early christian settlements or fortresses whose beginnings are lost in the mist of time.

Photographer Stefan Schnebelt captures many of these facets while traveling all over Ireland. His "Ireland 2012" calendar shows - following the tradition of his former Ireland calendar - some of these incomparable irish highlights, especially those that lie off the beaten tracks.
