Some memories from this day last year. What a stunning day it was around the Cooley Peninsula. Sunrise over Carlingford Lough, a hike to the top of Slieve Foye, lots of sailing boats out and a stunning sunset to end the day at Gyles Quay!

A starling catching the light. From a distance it looks like a dark bird, but up close the feathers shimmer with colour. This comes from iridescence - tiny microscopic structures in the feathers reflect light, creating shifting colours like those seen in oil on water.
Beautiful morning light shining on Carlingford Harbour earlier today.
Greenore Port silhouetted at sunrise this morning. Photos taken from Carlingford, Co. Louth.

A stunning morning in Carlingford earlier today. Lots of bird song and a beautiful sunrise from the horizon - over Cranfield and Greenore Port.

Today’s sunrise from Carlingford, Co. Louth had serious African savannah vibes. Nature putting on a show. 🔥🌅

Long exposure at the cliffs of Cape St. Vincent near the town of Sagres in the Algarve, Portugal. Stunning views of the Atlantic set against these towering coastal cliffs.
Some beautiful light this morning from Burrow and Claremont Beaches. Lots of low lying cloud on the horizon so the sun was very bright when it appeared over Howth Lighthouse. A lovely morning on the beach spoiled for choice between the setting moon and sunrise colours.

📍Praia de Albufeira, Portugal
Catch of the Day = a light shower !
The power of the Atlantic and a lone fisherman partially hidden by the sea spray made for a nice composition around high tide at Albufeira, Portugal yesterday afternoon.

Sun spots visible on a misty sun as it was setting
📍Faro, Portugal
A misty sun setting this evening (taken 6pm local time). Those dark marks aren’t clouds or dust - they’re sunspots. Sunspots are cooler, highly magnetic regions on the Sun’s surface, and a misty sunset naturally dims the light just enough to make them visible.
Seagull and wave collage
Seagull and wave watching at Islantilla, Spain yesterday afternoon.
📍Islantilla, Andalusia, Spain
Some wave, seagull (if that’s possible) and Beethoven therapy from a beautiful beach visit to Islantilla today.
A hazy glimpse of sunset just before the sun slipped behind the clouds. Captured this evening in Islantilla, Andalusia, Spain, with perfectly timed birds drifting across the sky, adding a beautiful touch.

Absolutely stunning colours on display tonight for sunset - at Faro, Portugal.
When the sun hits the snooze button 😉
Memories of this stunning sunrise from Blackrock, Co. Louth on #thisdaylastyear. The appearance of the sun is known as the ‘Etruscan Vase Effect’ – the sun appears mirrored & smoothly connected to its reflection, creating a vase-like shape.
📍Duncannon North Light, Co. Wexford, Ireland

Duncannon North Light - also known as Blackhill Lighthouse started life in a very different part of Ireland.
Another on this day memory, another Omega sunrise beauty by Haulbowline Lighthouse. Photos taken from Greenore, Co. Louth on this day 2025.

I started in the fog but it wasn’t long before it cleared and then the drizzle stopped and the scenery blew me away. A stunning walk
and great to see Sheep’s Head Lighthouse.
Thank you June
Thanks Jason 🥰

📍Hook Lighthouse, Co. Wexford, Ireland
The ‘Grand Daddy’ of Irish Lighthouses. This 13th century lighthouse - Ireland’s oldest and the World’s oldest ‘intact’ operating lighthouse - was amazing to see up close and personal.
