“Ever Changing Sky over a Never Changing Bay”

Boyeeghter Bay or Murder Hole Beach, Rosguill Peninsula, Melmore, Downings, County Donegal, Ireland

Whilst capturing this photo during sunset, the sky coloured in ways which may only happen once or twice per year. It started as amber, red then changed to a lighter violet colour in which I loved most 💜. This soft light, pastel colours and tones reflecting off the ocean’s surface looked so mesmerising to watch.

Everything seemed very soothing and relaxed compared to previous stormy images captured here, which gave off a more powerful vibe. It’s fascinating how much the motions of the sea and colours of light from the sun can transform our perspectives on the landscape around us.

It’s great knowing that its only our perspectives and the skies above this beach that change each day and not the actual landscape itself 🙏

🌊✨ Magheraroarty Beach in Full Power ✨🌊

Captured from above this morning, this stunning view of Magheraroarty Beach showcases the raw beauty of Donegal’s coastline. With high tide rolling in and a heavy swell sweeping across the bay, the power of the Atlantic is on full display. 🌊💙

In the distance, the tranquil yet rugged beauty of Inishbofin and Tory Island contrasts with the wild waves— a reminder of the ever-changing nature of the sea. 🌍✨

Who else loves witnessing the ocean’s energy like this? Drop a 🌊 in the comments if you do!

Malin Beg Harbour ⚓️

Malin Beg Bay, Glencolmcille, County Donegal, Ireland

One of Ireland's most traditional fishing harbours can be found on Malin Beg. No fancy electronic cranes, led lights, signage everywhere nor modern boats with loud power engines are found here on this little harbour. Instead, there are beautiful traditional wooden row style boats which haven’t changed in design for hundreds of years. Each one lovingly hand painted the most beautiful colours of blue imaginable. All right next to the old harbour master’s cottage still overlooking today.

These little boats travel out along Malin Beg Bay each morning at the break of dawn dropping their lobster pots into deep waters. At the end of each day after fishing for some fresh mackerel, po***ck & whiting the fishermen would return in anticipation to retrieve their precious pots, hopefully full of delicious lobsters and crabs 🦞

The only thing that will force these fishermen to remove their wooden boats out of these waters is the threat of stormy seas as seen here. After putting so much craftsmanship and care into their beloved boats, there is no way they are going to leave them in open water to the mercy of storms. This is why these little wooden boats have lasted decades and will likely last a few more judging by the care & love their skippers have for each of them 🛶

This video tells the story of the revitalised Swan Park Ceramic Trail, a community-focused project blending art, nature, and local engagement. Originally created by Aileen Barr in the early 1990's as Artlink’s first public art initiative, the trail was almost entirely destroyed during the 2017 floods. It has now been reimagined under Barr’s leadership, working closely with local artists and residents.

A snowy Castle bridge at the mouth of the Crana river in Swan Park, Buncrana, Inishowen, County Donegal.

With cold weather forecast for our part of the world this week, one of the most beautiful seaside and riverside walks is Swan Park in Buncrana. Gifted to the people of Buncrana by Harry Percival Swan, a local businessman, antiquarian and author in 1965, this stunning park at the edge of Lough Swilly is a must visit "for wee dander" in any weather. :)
