Low Tide in Sligo



just alongside the Spanish Armada memorial to 1200 Spanish sailors lost in a storm just off this point on the coast, and a few hundred saved.
The west of Ireland has the most dramatic tides I've ever seen. A long, slow enormous tide suits the place and her history and her people, seems to me.

Glad to see that you are back and yes, the more you go to Ireland and send out the photos to us all, the more I know that my grandfather's homeland calls to me and beacons for me to go and see what he left behind...thanks

It looks so peaceful. The horses set off the landscape in contemplation. Lovely picture.

Oh, donet, yes, I see you in Ireland - the fairy forests alone are enough to send you there.

Anil, thank you. Peaceful is the right word.

Ireland made me homesick for New Zealand ...
