The crescent moon peeping between the clouds above Gyles Quay Pier was an added bonus. A feast for the eyes ❤️

Just witnessed a beautiful sunset at Gyles Quay but before that here are some photos from a lovely start to the day in Carlingford this morning. The little robin I met was singing its heart out for ages and the morning sun was shining brightly on King John’s Castle.

Cold, grumpy, and in need of a warmer perch 😉
This robin was all fluffed up and looking fed up with winter already - spotted along the boardwalk to Portmarnock Beach this morning.

Walking in a winter wonderland
A light dusting of snow transformed the turf road above Omeath into a beautiful winter trail and added to the sweeping views over Carlingford Lough. Photos taken from a walk up to Clermont Cairn yesterday ( 20th November, 2025).

It was pretty baltic out there this morning ❄️
Beautiful pre sunrise colours were in abundance and this fishing trawler positioned just to the right of Ireland’s Eye provided a perfect sunrise object.

This silhouetted bird and its reflection almost look like a man running across the water to Greenore. Amazing sunrise colour over the lough looking towards Greenore from Omeath this morning.

The sun peeping up between low-lying clouds this morning, just to the right of Haulbowline Lighthouse, as these gulls practised their synchronised flying routine! A beautiful view from Omeath slip.

One of my favourite spots along the Howth cliff walk - Sheep’s Hole / Shell Beach. I had it all to myself yesterday afternoon and played with the waves with these long exposure shots.

Autumn in full swing at Glendalough National Park last week. So beautiful. It was pretty busy for a weekday and plenty of tourists around but easy to get off the beaten track and enjoy some solitude along with the friendly chats!
