VIDEO: Watch the most beautiful images of Leitrim you will ever see

Naomi Lee, a photographer from Aghacashel, has produced a photo book titled "Have a Look at Leitrim" which will be published in October. 

There is 200 pages in the book and a little bigger than A4 in size. Each page has a picture and caption. The perfect coffee table book. Every town, village and parish in Leitrim will be represented and it is photographed over a year so all the seasons are in there.
