Sea and Rocks, Ballydonegan Bay, West Cork

One of my favourite places to holiday in Ireland is Allihies, Beara Peninsula, West Cork. It was while hubby and I were enjoying one of our lengthy stays there during the autumn of 2010 that I took these photos. The weather was scorching hot with blue skies most days.

Swirling Mist, Rough Waters - Ballydonegan Pier, Allihies

Pier Staircase

Thick mist, green water, rock - breathtaking!

I shot those images yesterday afternoon at Ballydonegan Pier, Allihies in a fierce gale which sometimes made holding my phone steady virtually impossible.

My experience while walking around the pier would come close to what I'd call a spiritual one. I almost felt what had I done to deserve these very special moments during which I observed what I love most of all, the sea at her wildest. She gave an unrivaled performance. Taken February 2011.

A West Cork Sunset

I stood for a long time observing this sunset. As the seconds ticked by I knew I had to capture its beauty before the moment was lost forever. Allihies, Beara Peninsula, West Cork. Taken October 2010.

Rough Waters - Ballydonegan Bay, Allihies

Mid-afternoon three days ago in Ballydonegan Bay, Allihies. The roar of the waters was akin to the noise from a motorway at rush hour but without the traffic. Only the sound of the wind and waves to delight the ears. Taken February 2011.
