AS PRIMARY SCHOOL Geography told us, Slieve League in Donegal is the highest set of sea cliffs in Ireland.

Its spectacular setting is often the inspiration for some epic shots.

But one photographer’s drone footage this week has really taken off on Facebook – much more so than usual

Aereaphotography.ie took the camera out off the Donegal coast over the weekend and took in the scenery:

Slieve League has to be on your list of places to visit in Ireland. I always loved Donegal but this is another level. Spectacular views from every direction, a sight to behold.

And the sun was splitting the stones

Taking it out for a walk along the coast, they captured the sun going down over the mountains
