Ardmore from the Air
I didn’t plan this one, like the photos of Blarney from a few days ago. It’s the kind of shot you only get when you’ve nabbed a window seat and the cloud cooperates. We were somewhere over the Waterford coast when Ardmore slid into view below, the whole headland laid out like a quilt someone had thrown over the cliffs. The fields are the real star here: every shade of green and brown, all stitched together by hedgerows into that unmistakably Irish patchwork.
You can pick out the town tucked into its bay, the beaches catching the light, and the cliffs taking the brunt of the Atlantic. The low cloud drifting across the middle almost ruins it and somehow makes it instead. The land peeking through like it’s not quite ready to be seen.

@donncha Nach iontach! I used to fly regularly to Istanbul and it was usually clouds all the way till we emerged over the Bosporus. But on one return flight there was not a single cloud and I watched our progress, mesmerized, up the Black Sea coast to the Danube delta, upstream along the Danube, over the Iron Gates, then on to Passau where the Inn and the Ilz flow into the great river.Sometimes one’s lucky.
