A few photos I took on the way to and from Enniscrone

Niamh and I went to Enniscrone today. I took my camera with me and took a few shots. Here’s a sample. The rest are in my Flickr account.

Whin Flowers

Being marginal land, you’ll find whins (aka gorse or furze) everwhere around the North West. The shrub is covered in spikes, but the flowers are quite pretty and smell quite good.

Wind Power

Now, here’s something we’ve plenty of! I don’t understand the objections some have against them myself.

Enniscrone Beach

I’m told we have some of the best surf in Europe, if not the world. Enniscrone itself is quite has quite a beautiful strand, and here’s a shot of it.

Travelling to Enniscrone

The Gap

The Gap is the northern end of Western Way.

Lough Talt

Only a few kilometres from my house, Lough Talt is a beautiful spring lake nestled right in the middle of the Ox Mountains. It’s great for brown trout fishing. Though the lake looks safe for swimming, it’s not unless you’re very careful: there’s some strong currents and sharp drops for the unweary.

Lislea

The village of Aclare is partitioned into two parts. On the north side of the main street is the townland of Lislea (meaning Gray Fort); and on the south side, where I live, is the townland of Carns, a reference to the townland being covered in cairns.

You’re a good photographer, no doubt, but you hide a lot. You don’t show up. Be part of the shots. Every once in a while.

I didn’t show up because nobody else was interested in taking photos! Somebody, after all, needs to take the photos.

Nor is it true that I never turn up, either!
