Before the sun rises

For me one of the best moments of the day is right before the sun rises above the horizon and a few minutes after that.

Later on the day rolls out and everything changes -the light, the feeling in the air, people start to wake up and make noises from their houses and you can feel it in the atmosphere around you and that early morning feeling that the world belongs to you vanishes slowly.

Believe me, it's one of the best feelings ever. There is only you, the singing #birds, and the waking #nature around you. Peaceful, Invigorating, refreshing and simply amazing.

Before the sun rises, my favourite part of the day.

The Essence of Summer

I wonder, what is the image in your mind that reminds you of summer the most?

For me,  it's the summer grass, dancing gently in the breeze. 

I can look at it forever and never get enough. Sometimes it makes me wonder if it has hypnotizing powers because I definitely have problems taking my eyes off all the dancing grasses every time I am out walking, in the car or just looking out of the window.

BLUE SKIES OVER SPANISH ARCH

Finally! After a hard winter we get what we patiently deserve!

Maybe even a bit too much but don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, just not used to the heat and the sun anymore. It is easy to forget about it  means  during the constant rain and thick cloud cover.

At last, here in Connemara and All of Ireland a real paradise was unveiled from behind the clouds. It feels as if Ireland has moved out to the South of Europe somewhere, close distance from Sahara. And we are all loving it.  

Majority of the population is moving around as red as lobsters and still they are not complaining. We will take this sun as long as it is here because we know this heaven will not last forever. 

Look at that blue!! Galway is absolutely mesmerising under the sun. The crowds are out walking the streets and not knowing where to hide and what to do with themselves so everyone is gravitation towards the Spanish arch and Salthill where they sprawl under the sun soaking it in.  

Nothing wrong with that. They are definitely the best places to be in town.  I didn't have a chance to visit Salthill and the beach but I spent some time at Spanish arch, listening to the crowds, taking some photos and feeling the cool breeze on my skin under that vast gorgeous blue sky. Fantastic.  

Wish you were there..
