This was the view of Greenore from Omeath at 7:15am this morning. So lovely to see a bit of colour back in the sky.

What a stunning morning … all the more special after the current run of weather and absent sun. So beautiful to watch the sun rise over Haulbowline Lighthouse. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Pretty in Pink 💕
Beautiful sunset clouds and soft pink hues this evening — a lovely change from the recent weather. Looking over Carlingford Lough from the start of the turf road at Omeath, County Louth.

📍Roermond, The Netherlands, #OnThisDay2024
For centuries, Europeans believed that all swans were white, making the idea of a black swan seem impossible. This assumption gave rise to the phrase “black swan,” later inspiring the Black Swan Theory.

North Bull Lighthouse, Dublin Bay, Ireland
A sunrise sequence from Dublin Bay as the sun clears the horizon beside the North Bull Lighthouse. One of those mornings where patience, timing, and light all align. Photos all taken on this day 2023.

One of those WOW post sunset evenings - I can still remember standing in awe looking on as the sky went all kinds of colours and as an added bonus reflected beautifully on the shore. Taken on this day 2023 from Sutton Strand, Co. Dublin.

Sunset and amazing shapes in the sky - a fantastic memory from this day last year when Lough Ennell really delivered - stunning dancing in the sky and a beautiful sunset. A little slice of heaven. Totally amazing to witness.

In sharp contrast to this morning, it was a stunning morning on the Bull Wall and Bull Island in Dublin on this day last year 🌅 Gorgeous sunrise colours and a lovely sun rising over Buoy #5 in Dublin Bay and posing behind the Réalt na Mara statute at the end of the Bull Wall.

This adorable robin was singing its heart out yesterday afternoon at the Dublin Botanic Gardens. Its beak never opened, but its chest puffed up like a tiny ventriloquist.

IRISH WINTER SUNRISE MOMENTS
Since about 2020, I have tried to be outside for every sunrise in December and January - often the best part of the day. This collage shows a sunrise photo for each day from 30th November to 1st February over those years.

A stunning sunrise this morning despite all the cloud and grey - such a bright horizon for a short while and the clouds really lit up as the sun rose. Viewed from Greenore, Co. Louth looking over Carlingford Lough and towards Haulbowline Lighthouse.
