Wild Ireland: The Burren in Spring, County Clare, Ireland
From the Irish 'Boíreann' meaning a rocky place, the rolling hills of the Burren are composed of limestone pavements criss-crossed and gouged by fissures called grykes, leaving clints - raised, slab-like flat areas. The limestone, laid down in a shallow tropical sea in the Lower Carboniferous some 350 million years ago, has been shaped by episodes of glaciation, most recently during the last Ice Age. Covering roughly 360 square kilometres, parts of this karst landscape lie in one of Ireland's six national parks. The Burren boasts the most extensive area of limestone pavement in Europe, harbours a unique floral diversity with Arctic, Mediterranean and Alpine flowers blooming side by side, and is one of the finest examples of a glacio-karst landscape in the world.
The rocky landscape that we see today is not just the result of glacial erosion and natural weathering, but also 6,000 years of agricultural activity. The Burren has been settled since the Mesolithic and boasts a cornucopia of archaeological monuments from the stone walled field systems and megalithic structures of the Neolithic, including the well preserved portal dolmen at Poulnabrone, to later Bronze Age settlements, Iron Age hill forts and Medieval churches. A landscape rich in both nature and lore, the Burren and Cliffs of Moher Geopark, managed by Clare County Council, is a member of the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network.
Walkers will be amply rewarded by the extraordinary preservation of natural and cultural heritage; the extent of the limestone pavement with its sculpted surfaces, cliffs and whorls; shady narrow country lanes lined with hazel scrub; reed fringed aquamarine turloughs and dramatic views of the wave washed Wild Atlantic Way coastline that includes the famous Cliffs of Moher. The Burren in spring is the very stuff of dreams as the landscape is literally misty with flowers.
We consider the Burren in County Clare, to be Ireland's most unusual, striking and memorable landscape. It is our favourite part of this island. Featuring panoramas, time-lapse and medium close-up shots of the various flowers, our footage, to make the fourth in our 'Wild Ireland' series, was captured in 4K over three visits from early-May to mid-June, when the flora is at its very best. Enjoy!

The Burren
The Burren is a karst landscape region in north-west Co. Clare in Ireland. It is one of the largest karst regions in Europe. I have been photographing The Burren over the last 5 years, and recently got into time lapse photography. The Burren was an obvious place for me to do this first video.
There's a detailed HOWTO available on how I did this, including construction details on the rail, motor controller in the form of a Raspberry Pi computer, and some info on a DIY dew heater to keep condensation off the lens during cold shoots. . Be sure to subscribe for future updates and info. :)
Make sure you watch in High Definition, with sound enabled! :)
Many of the sequences found in this video are also available as 4K UHD video.

Rock Climbing in the Burren - County Clare - Ireland
Le Burren est reconnu pour son paysage calcaire rocheux, ce qui en fait un excellent site pour l'escalade.
Lors de notre passage dans cette région, nous avons pu observer un homme qui pratiquait justement cette activité.
J'ai effectué une recherche sur le net et j'ai vu entre autres qu'une entreprise offrait cette activité en tout sécurité en fournissant des guides locaux qualifiés et expérimentés et par l'utilisation d'équipement sécuritaire comme des cordes et harnais.
Les séances d'escalade peuvent être adaptées à chacun, que ce soit au niveau débutant ou plus expérimenté.
Pour en savoir plus, je vous invite à visiter le site internet suivant:

Coordonnées GPS: 53°07'58.9N 9°11'39.7W
Pinnacle Well est un genre de petit sanctuaire situé sur le bord de la route dans le Burren. A l'intérieur, on y retrouve une eau de source qui s'écoule doucement dans un petit bassin. L'eau serait potable.
Le site est considéré comme un lieu sacré. Des offrandes ont d'ailleurs été placées à l'intérieur du sanctuaire.

Nous vous invitons à parcourir ce désert de pierres avec nous bien assis dans notre voiture ... :)
Le Burren est un immense plateau désertique qui s'étend sur plusieurs centaines de kilomètres au nord-ouest du Comté de Clare.
Le parc national du Burren fait partie de la liste indicative du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
Son nom est tiré du gaélique Boireann qui signifie lieu de pierre. Il porte bien son nom.
Ce plateau est composé de crevasses et fissures rocheuses qui sont essentiellement dues au ruissellement des eaux de pluie et aux multiples cycles de gel et de dégel de l'eau.
Cette couche de calcaire se serait formée il y a près de 340 millions d'années au fond d'une mer peu profonde. Cependant, on estime que l'activité agricole y a débuté il y a plus de 6000 ans.
Plusieurs fleurs poussent à travers les fissures rocheuses. On y retrouve même une plante qui pousse généralement dans les Alpes, i.e. la gentiane bleue qui est le symbole du Burren.
Dans cette région, on y retrouve de nombreux vestiges celtes et préhistoriques tels que des dolmens, des menhirs, des cercles magiques ainsi que de très anciens forts.
Les légendes sont légion en Irlande. Une de celles-ci raconte que le Burren est plutôt le résultat d'une querelle entre un couple de géants qui habitaient sur la lune.
L'homme aurait trop bu et s'en serait pris à sa femme qui se serait cachée derrière des rochers. L'homme, fou de rage, aurait soulevé sa femme et les rochers et les aurait jeté dans le ciel.
Évidemment, le tout aurait atterri sur terre, en Irlande. Les rochers auraient éclaté en mille morceaux et auraient ainsi formé le Burren.
Notre premier arrêt dans le Burren:

Van Camping in Clare, Ireland - The Burren & Cliffs of Moher Walk - Mar 2017
A van camping weekend in Co Clare, Ireland. Met with friends who did some climbing in Burren. Us, on the other hand, we hiked our way through Burren and stopped at Burren Smokehouse at the end of the day for some excellent smoked Salmon (see The Burren Food Trail). Next day we hiked Cliffs of Moher Cliffwalk from Liscannor north - spectacular, highly recommended.
