Sunsets in Sligo.

Sunset. Cliffoney beach. Co. Sligo.

Sunset. Cliffoney beach. Co. Sligo.

I  spent  two  hours  shooting  the  sunset  on  Cliffoney  beach  because  the  sky  was  changing  so  fast  I  was  afraid  I  might  miss  something  if  I  left.  You  would  be  forgiven  for  thinking  it  was  warm  but  it  was  so  cold  my  fingers  were  numb  in  the  first  ten  minutes.

It  was  early  February  and  behind  me  the  next  snow  shower  was  coming  down  from  the  Dartry  Mountains. Across  the  bay  you  could  see  that  the  mountains  on  the  Donegal  side  were  already  white.   If  you  do  meet  someone  out  in  conditions  like  these   then  there  is  a  good  chance  it  will  be  another  photographer  but  not  today.

River meets  the  sea. Cliffoney. Sligo

River meets the sea. Cliffoney. Sligo

About  half  way  along  the  beach  a  small  stream  cut  it,s  way  through  the  sand  to  join  the  sea creating  little  islands  of  sand  as  it  neared  the  shore.

  1. Who would think that such beautiful scenes were just down the road? Ireland has some beautiful spots albeit a little tough to tolerate its climate some times :)
