Youghal’s Charming Beach Huts
I had no idea these beach huts were in Youghal until about a week ago, but I just love the colour and shape of each one.

A Sentinel at Sunset
A groyne standing upright by the seashore near Youghal.
The wooden post in this photograph is part of Youghal’s coastal defence system called groynes. They are structures built perpendicular to the shore to prevent beach erosion by trapping sand moved by longshore drift. These timber groynes at Youghal are regularly maintained and replaced as part of ongoing coastal management efforts by Cork County Council. The long exposure technique used in this photograph typically requires exposure times of 30 seconds to several minutes, using neutral density filters to reduce the amount of light entering the camera, which creates the smooth, ethereal water effect by averaging out the motion of waves over time.

The Watchtower and Seaside Blooms
The lifeguard tower at the end of the main section of the beach at Youghal. The beach does continue on, but the sand was green with algae and it was obvious it’s not used by humans much.
I love the matching colours in this photo. I spent a good few minutes kneeling in damp sand and dirt trying to get this photo.

Lifebuoy on Duty
It’s reassuring to see lifebuoys at the beach, especially when the sea is rough. Unfortunately, not every person in distress in the water can be saved, as has happened at this beach in Youghal in the past.

Much has been written about emigration *from* Ireland. Little has been written about immigration *to* Ireland, even tho it's had a significant impact on the island over the centuries. It's possible that some of my ancestors were Jewish refugees from Spain and Portugal who settled in southern Ireland in the 16th century. Looking forward to learning more. Happy #SaintPat's y'all ;-) 🍀 🇮🇪 😁 #StPatricksDay #Immigration #Refugees #History #Histodon #Cork #Youghal #Ireland https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/migration-and-the-making-of-ireland-a-fresh-and-fascinating-read-1.3411823
