Donegal:




This is Bunglass, near Glencolumbcille, the western tip of Donegal looking west. It was 2 days after Paddy's day '04 (March 17). I was there with my bro. He took snaps with a throwaway camera, and I'm sure, they're much better than mine with my expensive equipment. There was quite a gale, and the wind was so fierce  we took refuge in my car for a while. It felt like a mob was trying to topple my car!


Same spot, right of previous pic. The place is actually more spectacular than the cliffs of Moher in Clare. And higher. And that point I still hadn't realised I had put my grey filter upside down. So only the lower part of the pic is darkened. Interesting effect isn't it?


Lough Eske's western shore, 5 mile north of Donegal Town. Yes the boat on the right has sunk. It couldn't take more gales I guess...


Now I don't know how I managed to take this pic. I can't remember the weather being so bad on that day. Now people will think weather is alway bad in this country. But remember: there is no such thing as bad weather, there is only the wrong clothes!

Still lough Eske from the western shore.





Southern France, the Provence....

No, not really. It's still Donegal. I bet that for a while you were almost hearing  the music for the Stella Artois ad!

Somewhere on the road between Bunglass and Killybegs, 5 minutes from Killybegs
