Photo of powerful turquoise waves crashing at Clogher Beach, County Kerry, with the silhouette of An Fear Marbh island visible through sea spray against a dramatic sky of dark storm clouds broken by warm golden light. Dark rocky headlands frame both sides of the scene.

Clogher in Full Voice

The Atlantic was absolutely hammering Clogher Beach when I got down there a few weeks ago. A proper winter swell rolling in through the gap between the headlands, each wave stacking up and throwing that incredible translucent green you only […]

A low-angle, close-up shot of a vast bed of sea shells carpeting a beach. The shells, mostly oyster and bivalve varieties, show shades of pearly white, grey, and earthy brown. In the background, a steep sand dune rises up, covered in thick, wind-swept marram grass that leans heavily to the left. The sky above is a moody, overcast grey, casting a soft, diffused light over the scene, creating a peaceful yet rugged coastal atmosphere.

1 YEAR AGO FLASHBACK: Shell Shore. I shared this a whole year ago today! Amazing little beach that is just full of these shells.

A vertical photograph of a small, cylindrical lighthouse painted bright white on the top half and vivid red on the bottom. It sits on a weathered concrete pier with stone steps leading to the water. In the background, calm blue sea transitions into hazy, layered mountains under a pale blue sky. The reflection of the red lighthouse shimmers in the rippling water in the foreground. The mood is serene, coastal, and atmospheric.

A high-angle, close-up shot of the Giant's Causeway basalt columns. The interlocking stone pillars create a repetitive, honeycomb-like pattern of multangular shapes in various shades of grey and charcoal. Some flat surfaces hold small pools of rainwater, reflecting the sky. Golden-hour sunlight hits the edges of the columns, highlighting the rough, weathered texture and orange-tinted lichen growing on the rock, creating a sense of ancient, rugged permanence.

A low-angle, close-up photograph of a single, translucent seashell resting on a vast, sandy beach. The shell is concave, holding a small pool of clear water that reflects a bright spark of sunlight. The foreground sand is highly detailed with golden grains, while the background stretches out toward a distant shoreline and a bright blue sky dotted with soft white clouds. The lighting is bright and natural, evoking a sense of peaceful, coastal solitude and warmth.

1 YEAR AGO FLASHBACK: A Pearl of Sunlight. Sometimes something simple can look so cool! I shared this on the web a year ago today.

A dramatic view looking from the inside of a dark cave out towards the exit. The pitch-black, jagged, and heavily textured rock faces form a rugged frame around a brilliantly clear blue sky and soft, pale sand. The bright light from the outside sharply contrasts with the deep shadows inside, highlighting the rough contours of the cave walls and creating a sense of awe and discovery.

Peering out from the Maghera Caves in Co. Donegal! The contrast between the rugged rock walls and that brilliant blue sky was stunning. 🌊

A serene coastal landscape featuring sparkling, sunlit water in the midground. The silhouette of a distinct, cone-shaped mountain rises softly in the hazy distance beneath a sky with pastel clouds. In the foreground, dark silhouettes of spiky, palm-like leaves on the left and leafy tree branches on the right frame the bright, glittering sea. A single bird flies high in the pale sky. The lighting creates a peaceful, almost tropical atmosphere.

They named this place Sorrento Park because Killiney Bay does look remarkably like the Bay of Naples, with its own “Mount Vesuvius” - The Great Sugarloaf!

A rugged, layered rock cliff face drops down into calm, grey-green ocean water. Coastal grasses grow on the uneven top edge of the cliffs. In the background, the rock forms a natural, dark sea arch. The soft lighting highlights the jagged textures and grey-white mineral veins of the stone, evoking a sense of ancient, quiet coastal wilderness.

Wandering the Glen Beach cliff walk. The way the sea carves through these ancient rocks to create hidden sea arches is coastal magic! 🌊

A dramatic, vertical shot of a stormy sea at Clogga Strand. Violent white waves crash against dark, jagged rocks in the foreground, sending spray high into the air. The background is shrouded in heavy rain and mist, obscuring a large, looming hill and the faint outlines of houses. The image feels cold, wet, and energetic, capturing the raw power of a coastal storm in Ireland.

Getting absolutely soaked was the price of admission for this shot! The wind howled across Clogga Strand this morning, whipping the sea into a frenzy. I couldn't stay long before the rain won!

A dramatic coastal landscape at sunset. In the foreground on the left are dark, rugged cliffs dropping sharply to the turbulent sea. The middle ground is dominated by the dark, choppy water of the ocean stretching to the horizon. In the distance to the left, a small harbour wall with a white and red lighthouse is visible. The background features rolling hills under a vibrant sky with pastel pink, orange, and soft blue cloud cover. The overall mood is rugged yet serene.

A long exposure photograph of a rocky coastline. Rough, dark brown and grey sea-worn rocks protrude from the blurred, milky-white ocean water. Sea spray rises dramatically from one of the central rocks. The foreground is a smooth beach covered in an array of multi-coloured, wet pebbles. Darker, out-of-focus rocks frame the scene on the left and right, with a soft, grey and blue sky above the horizon.

A wide-angle, elevated view of a sandy beach and the sea on a sunny, slightly windy day. The waves crash onto the shore, creating white foam that recedes into the wet sand. The sky is bright blue with scattered white clouds, and the sun shines on the water and the distant coastline, creating a golden hue. The foreground shows a rocky, grassy cliff edge on the right.

A scenic view of a river with several small, colourful boats moored along the bank. On the opposite side of the river, a row of distinctively painted buildings, including a bright yellow one and a salmon-pink one, stand tall. People and parked cars are visible on the street in front of the buildings. The sky is overcast, and the surrounding trees are a deep green. The water reflects the boats and buildings, creating a slightly blurry, mirrored effect.

A wide shot of a beach and a grassy cliffside on a bright day. The calm turquoise sea meets a wide expanse of sand on the left. On the right, steep, white cliffs covered in green grass and gorse bushes rise up from the sea. White cottages and farms are nestled on top of the cliffs, which stretch into the distance.

A dramatic, low-angle shot of a large, jagged rock formation on the coast of Ireland. The rock in the foreground has a rich, reddish-purple hue with intricate textures and is sharply in focus, leading the eye up to the layered, stratified cliff face behind it. The top of the cliff is covered in green grass and shrubs, and a moody, overcast sky with dark clouds fills the background.

A wide, hazy shot of a blue-grey bay with a small, rocky island in the foreground to the right. A small white boat with a wake behind it is moving towards the left. In the distance, a large city and industrial area with tall smoking chimneys is visible. The sky is white and hazy, blending with the industrial structures.

The rest of the image shows a steep, rocky, green cliffside on the left, sloping down into a deep blue ocean that extends to the horizon on the right. A single seagull is visible flying high in the clear blue sky.
