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.

A few years back, during our holiday on Achill Island, we decided to take a stroll on a beautiful evening. The warm air and clear sky set the perfect ambiance. As we walked, I noticed a sign that cautioned drivers about children playing in the area, while the Moon shone brilliantly in the evening sky.

Achill Island, Co Mayo in July 2019. We joined the residents of Dooagh for a walk into the surrounding countryside. Halfway through there was refreshments and music and on a lovely July day it was glorious.

Keem Bay, Achill Island, as seen from the narrow road up in the hills on the way there. Totally worth the slightly hair raising drive as it’s a beautiful beach!

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.

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

The sheep on Achill Island do not fear cars driving past. They did however take exception to me walking closer to get a better photo and bolted a moment after I took this photo!
