A lone kite surfer flies through the water at Garrettstown Beach in County Cork a few weeks ago. Last weekend with the good weather the beach was packed, but we were there when it was cold, rain drizzled, and a cold wind whipped up the fine sand everywhere. Place was deserted. I like this photo.

so many people pass me by
Filed in Beach, Black and White, Canon 20D, Cork, Garrettstown, Ireland, Look up, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20Footsteps in the sand speak of many people passing this way.

Good thing I have backups as my first external drive has possibly died. [...]

A very different shot to some of the previous shots of this area! It was freezing this day, wind howled and I was wrapped up in a big jacket against the elements. Gives me the shivers just looking at [...]
