Inchydoney Serenity
Last Sunday, the first Sunday in February, was a glorious one. The sun shone out of an almost cloudless sky. It was cold, but the sun brought the crowds, and there were cars parked all along the coast road, from the hotel to the nearby car park at the other end of the beach.
Beach Art Celebrates St. Brigid’s Day
The weather forecast for today was great, so we visited Inchydoney Beach this afternoon. While it looks like the beach isn’t busy, cars were parked all the way from the hotel down to the public car park at the other end of the beach. It would be easy to think it was the middle of…
Twilight Sentinels on the Beach
Some of the thatched beach umbrellas on Playa de Ajabo in Tenerife, just after the sun has set. There’s a restaurant behind where I was taking the photo, with bright neon lights shining on the beach, that was annoying to remove.
Waves of Time
A lone rock on Long Strand, Co Cork, as waves crash around it. The water is reduced to a misty blur in this long exposure shot. If you look carefully, you’ll see the Galley Head Lighthouse in the background.
Keem Beach in the Sun
The lovely Keem Beach on Achill Island, photographed in 2019. It’s a beautiful part of Ireland that I would love to visit again some day.
The Aquatic Paparazzi
A photographer with his phone captured the waves on Cuminole Strand a few years ago. It was a beautiful August afternoon, a far cry from the wintery weather outside right now!
Life Saving Devices at the Beach
A life buoy at the beach in Youghal. It was a fairly breezy day, just after the triathlon.
The Pacific Park in the Sea
Santa Monica Pier stretches out into the sea, but halfway out is a funfair including a roller coaster and ferris wheel, of all things. On a sunny day it’s a sight to behold. The place is thronged with people too!
Cows at the sea
Cows on the rocks near the sea on Sheep’s Head. Looks like one of them is enjoying the view of the water. Nice day for fishing ain’t it!
Sunset at Ventura Pier
The waves roll in on the beach at Ventura Beach while the pier extends out into the sea. The pier was damaged in storms and closed in early 2023, but still made for a great subject at sunset. I have so many photos of this pier from that night. I’ll be posting photos of it…
Breaking barriers to the beach
A wooden fence lies forgotten in the sands of the beach in Santa Monica. Lifeguard Tower 15 stands in the background of this photo, just beyond all the food carts.
