If you go down to Wine Strand on the Dingle Peninsula but go straight ahead instead of turning right you’ll come across another beach. Lovely to walk on but I heard that it can be dangerous to swim there because of the local currents.

Can’t go to Dingle without going to Coumeenole Beach. Haven’t ever swam there but it’s a lovely spot.

People in Ireland are discouraged from travelling abroad right now due to the pandemic but luckily the weather is, or was glorious last weekend so everyone who could went to the beach. Lots of cars on the road but there was plenty of room on Garylucas Beach for everyone to be safely distanced from each…

Achill Island is a beautiful island off the coast of Mayo. There’s a bridge connecting the island to the mainland making it easier to get there which is great because it’s a wonderful place to visit. This is Dugort Beach in the north of the island.

Stinson Beach, California. July 2007 at the Automattic Grand Meetup that year. A much smaller affair than recent years.

Keem Beach on Achill Island, Co Mayo. July 2019. So long ago. Also see it on Instagram where you can swipe to see the whole lot. I used the convert command in Imagemagick to split the file into 3 equally sized parts: convert input.jpg -crop 3×1@ out-%02d.jpg

Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. December 2019. A lifetime ago.

Lanzarote Airport sits right by the coast. There’s a beach at one end of the runway where you can get great photos of the landing planes. I wonder what the pilots think of the onlookers watching at this dangerous stage of a flight?
