From Ardglass Harbour out into the Irish Sea. Isle of Man visible but camera not conveying the high hills.

Left at 2.45 and those clouds seemed static

Right, an hour later, they did move somewhat.

Sadly disused boathouse near Castleward. Had previously stored a long boat. Don't think the National Trust owns it.
