  North Atlantic Skyline — Authority: 123
  The consequences of the severe weather continue to unfold – areas to the north, south and east of Galway City are still severly flooded, with residents and commuters suffering hardship. Over the weekend, the fear that the combination of storm force winds and heavy rain would cause flooding in the city turned out ...

• Morning Tide

  Even though it was a calm morning, the full tide meant that the waves splashing onto the shore at Spiddal, Co. Galway [on November 8th] were big enough to catch the rising sun. Picture taken about an hour after sunrise, on the beach beside the road on the eastern side of Spiddal.

• Wren

  
  North Atlantic Skyline — Authority: 123
  Despite its small size, the wren is a noisy and aggressive little bird. I was looking at the various birds feeding in the field between Rusheen Bay and Silver Strand last week when this little guy landed close by. In the field, a little egret , a flock of curlews, as well as numerous lapwings were feeding. The wren ...

• The Stolen Quarter

  
  North Atlantic Skyline — Authority: 123
  The moon and the stars shining before dawn over Galway Bay last week . The diving board is illuminated by the streetlights (behind my position). I don’t have a lot of time to spare these days. During this week, there has been a few fantastic sunrises over the west of Ireland – alas, I’ve been stuck on a train ...

  North Atlantic Skyline — Authority: 123
  The Sofie Theresa is a regular visitor to Galway – one of the ships that keeps the city supplied with fuel. It was quite frosty last night,and I was in the harbour taking a few snaps when I saw the harbour staff preparing for the tanker’s departure. So I set up my camera on a tripod beside the lock-gates to ...

• A New Day

  
  North Atlantic Skyline — Authority: 123
  Sunrise over Spiddal this morning. I’ve been meaning to change the format of the site for quite a while now, but didn’t have the time to mess about with formats. Over the weekend, I noticed a pre-defined photoblog format in Wordpress (the software I use to run this site) that could be loaded automatically (i.e. ...

• Doolin Waves

  
  North Atlantic Skyline — Authority: 123
  There’s not many leaves left on the trees after the gales that swept across Galway Bay on Saturday. The sea was pretty rough, and heavy showers meant that the streets were more empty than one would expect for an October Bank Holiday weekend. These pictures are from another stormy weekend earlier in the year – ...

  North Atlantic Skyline — Authority: 123
  The Galway Walking Club did a hike on Nephin a few weeks ago. We sweltered on the way up but the summit was very cold (it was cloudy with a sharp wind). There was no snow this time but the stone circle is still there . Bigger versions of images here and here .

  Hundreds of spiders webs cover a clump of Furze (aka Gorse) in east Galway on an autumn morning. On a morning like this, one  can see the challenge for flies and other insects to stay alive in a furze bush.

• Waterford bypass

  
  North Atlantic Skyline — Authority: 123
  One of the lasting legacies of the economic boom in Ireland over the last decade is the newly-constructed road network. Even as the country goes broke, the last of the big road projects are being completed. Many of the projects have been finished well of schedule (probably due to the involvement of experienced foreign ...
