For no reason here's an unedited shot I took from my wee dinghy on the River Boyne July 12th, just before sunset at 21:15. I was looking for a spot to camp, just upriver from the site of the Battle in 1690. Luckily there was no King William, King James, or even the Andrew formerly known as Prince!

The wind dropped so we rafted up for lunch and a natter, and a few had a snooze. No blue sky that day, but it was still heaven.
