 Better than a visit to Ireland?Jun 04, 2008
By Dr. Beaker
This video, on one DVD, is similar in quality and subject matter to the several other excellent 'Visions of Europe' series of DVDs. The differences seem to be that the narrator talks more, and there are more street-level shots of quaint downtown areas and more ground level shots of the countryside. But it all works. This is a striking collection of views of Ireland, with appropriate music.
The narrator stresses the long-time "historical sadness" of Ireland, how it has boomed economically since peace has set in, and the beauty and varied history of Ireland. The video also shows a lot of new construction of buildings occurring in the larger cities.
The video has lots of views of picturesque small towns, farms and country homes, harbors, bays, rivers, old castles (some in good condition, some not), stone fences, stone monuments, stone huts, stone bridges, lighthouses, beaches, very rugged shortlines, very rugged islands, big cities and their wonderful old downtown streets, colleges, churches, cathdedrals, and ancient mounds and burial sites.
Altogether just as nice as a trip to Ireland, without the expense and trouble of a trip, and the likely chance of bad weather. My favorite scenes are: (1) Gardens at Mount Stewart (2) Sunbeams on the coast at Galway Bay (3) Island of Skelling Michael, and (4) Cliffs of Moher.

The Emerald Isle From On HighApr 15, 2008
By Brian E. Erland
"Rainbow Sphinx"
Much like most of you out there I first became acquainted with the `Vision Series' of aerial travelogue features on PBS television. Whenever I came upon one while channel surfing I'd immediately put the remote down and sit back and relax. It wasn't long before I decided these programs were something I'd never tire of watching and needed to be added to my private DVD collection.
Released in '08, `Visions of Ireland' is the seventh high altitude tour in the series following `Visions of ... Greece / Italy / England / France / Germany and Scotland.' As with the previous journeys the audience is whisked away from the daily concerns of life on the ground to view Ireland in all its magnificent natural, rustic beauty. Add to the visuals a haunting Celtic laden soundtrack and narration you'll soon think you're really there! By the way, do you happen to know the way to the nearest pub?

 BeautifulNov 16, 2008
By Robert B. Lathan
The shots taken from a helicopter or plane are really pretty. This was a good follow up to my visit to Ireland. Shows a lot of things I did not get to see in person. This is not a "travelog" and does not have a lot facts, information and voice over. No travel advice. But, it is visually beautiful and shows all areas of Ireland. I also got the disk on England and the one for Scotland.

 Erin from the AirJul 26, 2008
By R. Fink
"Armchair traveler,"
Barely acceptable addition to this series with a distorted sense of geography. Several highlights ignored. Some pretty pictures, however. Select instead "Over Ireland" which is a five-star tour with excellent music and narration.

Ireland - GreatApr 09, 2008
By jmrobert
Excellent video. Background music not so load you can't hear the commentary. Makes us home-sick.
