A Tranquil Irish Harbour

The harbour in Ahakista is a picturesque location on a warm June evening. This photo was made in 2014 when I was on holiday there with my family.

The walk to the lighthouse

The end of Sheep’s Head in Co Cork and there’s a small lighthouse there.

It’s a bit of a hike to get out there.

A small white lighthouse perched on a rugged coastal cliff edge, with red safety railings leading down a narrow path. The rocky cliffs are covered with wild coastal vegetation and colorful wildflowers in yellow and pink hues. The Atlantic Ocean stretches to the horizon, with choppy waters visible below. A utility pole stands on the cliff top. The scene captures the dramatic coastal landscape typical of Ireland's shoreline.

Headed out of the parish on my bike to see Inni-K live at Arundels in Ahakista.

A nice 46km round trip to the Sheep’s Head Peninsula in the mizzle & totally worth it. 📷🚵‍♂️🎹🎤🎸🌧️

Close up of Inni-K at the mic with her violin and bow. 

I was in two minds whether to camp on the Sheep’s Head peninsula along the coast. So I took my camping gear in case, but the weather was just meh and not worth the faff on this occasion. 

Sometimes you just have to head home.Inni-K at the mic looking towards us with her guitar. A backdrop by Bee hangs of to her left, a brooding cloud and ocean scene. Three little lamps illuminate a stone wall to her right.Left of frame, Inni-K at the mic eyes closed playing her Roland keyboard. Over her left shoulder we see a standing guitar and a window. Inthe topright a small light on a stand. More of the backdrop by Bee hangs to her right, a brooding cloud and ocean scene.

Sheep’s Head Sunset

Over the weekend I stayed in a B&B on Sheep’s Head in Co. Cork and of course I had to photograph the sunset from the headland. I shared another photo taken on the same night recently, but I’ve photographed the sunset in this part of the world several times. A lovely evening for a photo excursion.

A distant sunset with clouds and the sun lighting up the sky. Distant hills are separated from the viewer by water and in the foreground are bushes of green leaves.

I wasn’t expecting much as there were thick clouds on the horizon, but I liked the way the light lit up the cloud, and the foreground bushes added a bit of depth too.

What you’re seeing over there in the distance is the Beara Peninsula. Another beautiful part of the country!

Cows on the rocks near the sea on Sheep’s Head. Looks like one of them is enjoying the view of the water. Nice day for fishing ain’t it!

Light from the cloud

Light pours through a gap in the clouds, illuminating the waters between Sheep's Head and the Beara Peninsula.

Light pours from a gap in the clouds near sunset over Sheep's Head. There's a small lake in the foreground, reflecting the light, and a bungalow sits near the lake.

@DazeEnd

O'Neil's is worth the detour to Wanchese, loved walking in and seeing folks trimming fresh catch in the back. It's picnic tables and informal. I had the catch of the day ( #sheepshead ! ) with fries & coleslaw. Their menu is small because they're primarily a seafood market.

Stayed in Avon this trip but saw the Yelp reviews for O'Neil's and couldn't resist. 😋

Sheepshead mushroom out beyond the dog’s yard. Been a while since I saw one here.

Earlier today, @MeicMitchell and @Mammut shared images of Gorteanish stone circle in West Cork, so I thought I would join the party with this image from 2016.

Epic reflections in Farranamanagh Lough yesterday. #SheepsHead #WestCork #Ireland

Low hills with sun and shadows on the ridge reflected in the still waters of a lake.

The Gorteanish stone circle looking rather splendid in this weather. We rarely get #sneachta #snow on the #Sheepshead #WestCork so this is special for the day that's in it.

A stone circle in strong light against reddish-purple bare trees and a distant ridge covered in fresh snow, a blue sky above with thin whispy clouds.
