Nowhere in a hurry - Birchall, Co. Galway, Ireland

Lough Corrib, Birchall, Co. Galway, Ireland, 

This was a fabulous place, we used to love going there. 

Not anymore, because for the convenience of the fishermen the little crescent of land that is visible in the images at the back, bristling with bushes and wild grass was flattened with bulldozers. The place really lost its charm after that...
 
That day the light was really dreamy and luminous, there was a bit of fog drifting around, perfect conditions for photos.

These images are like a portal in time. Enjoy!!

Nowhere in a hurry

Thank you for the visit!!

SPRING in OUGHTERARD

Once Christmas is over I can't wait for spring to arrive. 

I wait impatiently for the first green shoots to appear and that lovely fluffy greenness that wraps everything. It is always better to admire it from a good vantage point and Oughterard has it's perfect view point from the hills in Canrower.

Enjoy my spring view of Oughterard, bring some wellies though if you want to follow in my footsteps because the bogs are always full of water and very treacherous for walking!!

Dublin, one beautiful morning

Finally I managed to see Dublin in good weather. 

So far every time I went there, it was during a weather warning, but I had to go for my lectures, so there was no way around it. 

Walking along the river in the hushed early morning with the sun just peaking out from the soft wispy clouds was simply magical. Even the gulls were quiet and relaxed just sitting there looking at me.

Have a look t early morning Dublin, just waking up, drowsy and peaceful...

 

 thanks for stopping by!!!

AUGHNANURE CASTLE one lovely summer day

Every year at the end of August there is an open day at Aughnanure castle.

This is a fantastic event for grown ups and children alike and the locals keep coming here the same as the tourists every year - just for the fun of it. There is music, crafts displayed and lots of little children running happily around with painted faces. 

A fabulous way to spent a couple of hours relaxing and enjoying the beautiful grounds. 

Start from the car park, then slowly ramble along the river feasting your eyes on the wonderful and rich summer green. Go across the bridge and through the thick entrance gates and here you are!! it is a beautiful welcome with colourful flags flapping in the breeze. 

Follow me and you shall see!!
