South east(ish) of Newry and behind Warrenpoint 鈥� We鈥檙e off to visit the Burren. It鈥檚 a fairly remote place, high up the hill 鈥� where on a good day you can see both Cavehill and Dublin Bay.

Philadelphia, Bosnia, the Falklands, Israel, Antartica, the Arctic... and Portballantrae. Joyce Ferder Rankin has photographed them all.
