The sun goes down on Galway Bay
In December 2007 I visited my friend Big Dave in Ireland to spend my birthday. Here are a couple of images to remind myself of an excellent trip.
The Shannon Callows are in Central Ireland where, in winter, the River Shannon overflows it banks to provide a wonderful wetland habitat for wildfowl
Crepuscular rays over Galway Bay: a drive to the Atlantic coast was rewarded with this sight of the sun going down over the eponymous BayPlease click on the picture for a treat!

Very nice photos, and video. Thanks for posting them.
I will make a point to see Galway, if I am ever blessed to come to Ireland. And also the Cliffs of Moher, which a friend has told me about, and she still has joy remembering the sights there.
I love those rays
Fantastic images! :-)
Heaven, heaven, heaven. The only place in Ireland I like better than Dublin, Cork, and Belfast is Galway. How not to love Galway Bay!
beautiful photos, worth sharing indeed, with skies like that i am guessing you had a wonderful b/day trip.
Beautiful! The shot of the rays is gorgeous!
And you have been on an opera in the Opera in Oslo! That is more than I have - but I hope to do that soon!
Thanks for nice comments and your sky photos of the week is so great too. It's not every day the sky is that radiant. (Since I'm not English I don't have all those words to explain my feelings for how things look:)
P.S. You are the first one I've seen here in Cyberspace that has put up Dr. Zhivago as a favourite film and the music in that film. I can hear it in my memory. Have a nice week.
so beautiful photos :)
have a nice weekend!
Wow on that second photo! Its like the angels looking down from above!
Beautiful photos and great video!

Janice.
Gorgeous sunset!
Cheers, Klaus

I love lakes. Your first image is a dream. The second however is just gorgeous. Those sn rays coming through are so wonderful. My favourite type of sky.
Jim: Excellant choices of photos of the sunset. I like the one with the hole in the clouds.
Hello
I loved the images, especially as I am almost finished reading a terrific historical novel called "Galway Bay" by Mary Pat Kelly...thanks.
I like the Crepuscular rays. I like the kites, too. We have black shouldered kites, not nearly as colorful.
AWesome! Incidentally, I'm reading this book by Mary Pat Kelly called Galway Bay. It's just how I pictured it from the book.
Excellent picure. Sky watch here.
Gorgeous skies!
It was such a treat to see that last photo on Galway Bay. Nice Sky Watch post.

Beautiful sunset images. The second one is so heavenly. The rays of the sun spreading all over is just so amazing.

I went to Limerick last year, but only saw the run down council estates for a chapter in a book I have ghost written. I saw none of these beautiful sights, unfortunately.
