Picture of the day: this is the sea!

Picture of the Day: Sea View

I love the combination of sunlight and the sea. Both offer opportunities  to outline silhouettes and shapes, textures and twinkles.  It is all there for the taking, it just needs to be framed. Here is one of the Atlantic Ocean, taken on Iniz Mor. A little island off the coast of Ireland.  For some a contemplating view.

Picture of the Day: Ireland Knocknarea

Ireland reminds me of Holland; in both countries the horizon is very present in the landscape. In Holland the horizon is always visible, low and straight. Thus giving a great view on the clouds and sky. In Ireland the horizon is more playful and ‘dented’ but the skies and clouds always play a major part in the ‘framing’ of the scenery. Especially when the sun does come in shining its rays.

Picture of the Day: Westport Ireland Candy Store

Just a streetscene in Westport Ireland. Local kids buying candy and other stuff from a local store. A social meeting place just in the street, on a corner.

Picture of the Day: Croagh Patrick

A view from a mountain. The Croagh Patrick is a place where Roman Catholics from all over the world walk in the footsteps of Saint Patrick. Climbing the mountain – regardless of the personal believe or persuasion - is a journey inside, a path of personal growth. Here is a view on the way down when one can focus on the horizion instead of the mountain.

Picture of the Day: Ireland’s End

A view from Knocknarea over the Atlantic Ocean. Is it the end of Ireland or just the beginning of Europe?

Picture of the Day: Knowth Ireland

It has been quiet on here for a while. Luckily I spent some wonderful days in Ireland. Here is a picture of a wonderfully warm and sometimes wet country! Knowth, a wonderful experience in awareness.
