Two’s Company at the beach

Moments before yesterday’s photo of a beach inspector there were two seagulls.

I was watching them as I walked down Garrylucas Beach and neither moved so I have a couple of shots of them with dramatic waves thundering behind them. They seemed to be not disturbed by the wall of water beyond.

I on the other hand kept an eye on the incoming tide, but I didn’t stay long. It was freezing.

Now I want to go shoot street photography in Amsterdam again.

The Beach Inspector

Garylucas Beach in Co Cork was hit by 40kph winds this afternoon, with tall waves crashing on the beach. I took a few photos but retreated to the car as it was so cold. Within minutes the wind had ripped right through me.

Luckily, gulls are protected somewhat from the cold by their feathers and this gull stood in the water without a care in the world for several minutes.

Getting absolutely soaked was the price of admission for this shot! The wind howled across Clogga Strand this morning, whipping the sea into a frenzy. I couldn't stay long before the rain won!

Long Exposure at Ireland’s Edge

The sea retreats in its forever battle with the sand.

Clogher Strand in late December. The day was cold but we had fun.

The Three Sisters at Twilight

The Three Sisters on the Dingle Peninsula in Co. Kerry. The sun had just sunk below the horizon and beyond a cloud bank at the horizon but the sky was still glowing a lovely soft yellow glow.
