A green boat sits in the shallows at low tide in Crosshaven, County Cork.

Rocky Bay in County Cork is a beautiful little sandy beach, despite the name.

The town of Crosshaven in County Cork as seen from across the water. Lots of photos uploaded to the photowalk homepage. I have to judge a winner in the next few days..

A man leans on a hurley while his son runs after the sliotar (off picture) down the beach at Garrettstown last March.
