Irish Mist

Drove past Lough Scur in the morning and the mist was clinging around however on driving past a couple of hours later the sun was burning through the cloud a bit.

The other side of Lough Scur when the sky brightened further to reflect the trees nicely in the water.

Cloudy reflections

Liked the reflection of the clouds in the calm mirror like water of Lough Scur, County Letrim.

Quiet day on Achil Island

These sheep must have seen some wild days on Achil. The sea was nice and calm when we visited however there was still a nice wee swell on the rocks below.

The long and winding road is a wee single track highway with state of the art crash barriers in the shape of small stones to protect your car from the drops as seen below. Its hard not to look off the road when you are going around this lovely island all the same. As you can see the road is not in rush hour!

Achil Island

Achil Island, Co Mayo nice part at the start of Atlantic Drive. A very rugged Island which edges out into the Atlantic Ocean. Great drive and some nice areas to walk. More pictures of the cliffs on the island to follow.

Croagh Patrick

The National Famine monument at Murrisk with Croagh Patrick in the background. A lovely part of the world just outside Westport in the County of Mayo. This coffin ship with the skeletons jumping from it is set in a lovely garden area with a great view out to Clew bay.

Just the luck that the rain was about to fall however it did add to the sky view.

Maybe one of these visits to Ireland I will climb this one as the views out to the bay are amazing.

At rest on Lough Talt

A nice peaceful October evening on Lough Talt in County Sligo. This Lough was looking good on Sunday 13th October. It is about 200 acres in size and located at the foot of the Ox mountains between Tubbercurry and Bunneyconnellan.

Beaky

Liked this raptor! Wouldn't fancy being swooped on by this one, great to see them soaring at the wildlife centre.
