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. Ballydonegan Bay, Allihies, West Cork. Taken October 2010.

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.
