Next time you’re out at Mizen Head you might notice this abandoned boat lying upside down by the visitor center. I almost missed it but I looked back to get a shot of the cliffs in the background. This makes a nice foreground I think.
Anyway, must have been an awful chore dragging that boat all the way up from the water. It was tiring enough pushing a buggy (and later carrying my bored baby) up from the bridge connecting the lighthouse to the mainland.
It’s a beautiful location. If you’re in West Cork be sure to visit!

Great capture Donncha! as are all your pics! Thanks for adding me,I am new to photography so hopefully I can learn from your good photography.
There’s something peculiarly exciting about upside-down boats… a muse which has moved me in the past. Lovely photo this. 🙂
Great composition

Hello Donncha;
Thanks for permission to use you beautiful old boat picture at http://www.billthibodeau.com. His poem, Boats, describes it very well.
