Flaggy Shore/New Quay for #fotovorschlag "Tag des Meeres" / "World Ocean Day"

Postscript - Seamus Heaney
"And some time make the time to drive out west
Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore,
In September or October, when the wind
And the light are working off each other
So that the ocean on one side is wild
With foam and glitter, and inland among stones
The surface of a slate-grey lake is lit
By the earthed lightning of a flock of swans,
Their feathers roughed and ruffling, white on white,
Their fully grown headstrong-looking heads
Tucked or cresting or busy underwater.
Useless to think you’ll park and capture it
More thoroughly. You are neither here nor there,
A hurry through which known and strange things pass
As big soft buffetings come at the car sideways
And catch the heart off guard and blow it open."

"Timeless"

Doolin for #seawednesday 🌊

Doolin is a popular spot for a lot of different reasons. Located in the Burren, it is close to many other hotspots like the Cliffs of Moher, Lisdoonvarna, the Doolin Cave (largest stalactite in the Northern Hemisphere), Doonagore Castle and Fanore beach. Its ferries can also bring you out to the Aran Islands. It's a very lovely and welcoming village that is famous for traditional Irish music - there's always a sesh on somewhere.

"Fruta"

Black Head for #seawednesday

We're in the Burren in Co. Clare again. It's a very special place. It is the only place in the world where Artic/Alpine and Mediterranean/Subtropical plants grow side by side. This is due to the unique karst landscape and its microclimate. It is home to about 1100 plant species out of the 1400 species in the whole of Ireland. There are also two butterflies that live there - The Pearl-Bordered Fritillary and the Brown Hairstreak which are not found anywhere else in Ireland. 🦋 Oh! There's also a really cute fox that my Dad has basically adopted. 🦊 😂
