Storm Desmond, Galway, Ireland

While storm Desmond rages outside, I can not miss this opportunity to post my photos from today's walk to the waterfall in Oughterard. 


Needless to say I did not meet anyone on the way there except a couple of horses having lunch. The road was flooded heavily under the railroad bridge, the water reached almost up to my knees!!

The RED WEATHER ALERT is still on, all roads in the area are flooded, rivers are running crazy, people's gardens have disappeared....

I HOPE YOU ARE WARM AND SNUG AND DRY TONIGHT while reading this post. 

Unfortunately I did not have my camera in my disposal so I had to use my phone. The images are a bit dodgy for my standard but sorry people this is all I have. Here they are:

The Waterfall Walk, Oughterard

image of  a stone wall and a pole with road signs

I've been to this place so many times that I literally can not count them.
Lately I started coming back from work with a bus and I ask the driver to drop me off right at the entrance to The Waterfall Walk.


After the long hard day at work, the moment I step between the stone walls of the entrance, like a miracle, I feel transformed,  I feel better straight away. The green surrounds me, the gloom between the ancient trees embraces me, I relax and all my tiredness and worries slip away into the void... Wonderful...Wish you could do that too...



Here, walk the Waterfall Walk with me
