New account. Follow if you like. I love exploring the Irish coast. The weather at the Irish coast, wildlife, scenery, the food, and daily life. I am a frustrated sailor currently between boats.

The Bann River flows northwards from Lough Neagh to the North Atlantic coast of Ireland. See the green tinged water? It’s blue green algae. Lough Neagh is 20 miles away and is filled with it because of fertiliser run off from fields and raw sewage pumped directly into it. #eco #pollution #disaster

Waves are getting bigger at #ballycastle. When the strong winds blow, the sea crashes, the air is the finest you’ll breathe. This is nature stretching. It hasn’t even begun to move. The power on display at this coast teaches a person their place in the natural order of things. #ireland #coast #uladh

13th century Layd Church ruins at Cushendall. Once powerful men are buried here. Chieftains and soldiers. Forgotten by time. But if their ghosts are here, my word…..what a beautiful place to haunt. #history #coast #ireland
Ruins of Layd Church. A 13th century building built on an Iron Age site. It is the resting place of among others, Chieftains, soldiers and sailors. Their tombs are crumbling to dust. But their final resting place is beautiful.

Rathlin Island ferry ploughing its way from Ballycastle. It has a 6 mile journey to the island. Other craft ferry passengers too, but this is the only one in service for vehicle transport. The ferry is basically a purpose built landing craft. Made in Arklow in 2017. #ship #ferry #islandlife #irish

Two swans having a wee surf on the mouth of the Dall river at Cushendall on the north east coast of Ireland. This is where the river meets the North Channel / Irish sea. The Irish name for this place is Cois Abhann Dalla (foot of the Dalla).

The Arcadia building, Portrush. Built 1925 and saved from demolition in 2000. It functions today as it always did, as a cafe and a centre for community events. #coast #seascroll #shoreline #ireland

This is Bonamargy Friary on the north coast of Ireland. It belonged to the Franciscan Order. It was established in 1500. It has been a ruin since 1770. Burials have continued into the modern age. Local lore says it’s haunted by a nun. #ruin #ireland #history

Young gulls call for food. They are now the same size as the parent birds now, and very demanding. #irish #coast #birds #wildlife #sea

People like this enrage me. Know alls who know nothing. A knobhead who has never been to sea, and who would indirectly cause drownings of fishing crews, yacht crews and beachgoers just to have his myth fetish of white supremacy fulfilled against desperate black people in the English channel.

Small medieval brick on Ballycastle beach. Lots of impurities in the clay. Beaches were used as dump grounds in past centuries for demolition debris. Relics can still be found.

The beach at Whiterocks on the Irish north coast. Full of caves and arches cut into the chalk cliffs by the sea.
A long beach with wind blowing the sand Caves at the foot of a chalk cliff. The power of the sea did this. They are very narrow.The view outwards from a narrow sea cave at low tide. Northern coast of Ireland at a place called Whiterocks BeachLooking towards an arch cut into a chalk cliff by the power of the sea. Some say if you can get to it you’ll have a wish granted. Probably to be rescued!!!

A fresh morning at the Irish coast. The air here is pure, the water cold and all year round people will swim in the sea. #ballycastle #irish #coast #sea

A purposely enhanced sea cave and a ruined footbridge at Ballycastle beach. This area was heavily involved in the abstraction of sea salt in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
A human enhanced cave at Ballycastle beach with steps cut into the rock.

Dawn on Ballycastle beach on the north coast of Ireland. Looking towards Rathlin Island in the distance. A real joy to be here..
