West Cork Photos
Since most of my family are still in Ireland, we do what all familes separated by thousands of miles do. We swap photos online.
I mentioned on the recent Father’s Day post that my parents were down in West Cork a few weeks back.
The photos the Da took were lovely. Being family photos I won’t be sharing them with you, but I reckon I can manage two that safe for work for ya.

Wow - that brings me back! I lived in Skib as a child and have very happy memories of the area - Baltimore is a great spot - used to go out to Sherkin and Cape Clear on a regular basis……..feeling the need to repeat the experience some time soon. Funnily enough was reading in the Irish Times today about the damage done to Skib in the arson attack which took place not so long ago and destroyed a lovely restaurant and a famous old hardware shop in the town…strange the way somewhere/something suddenly comes at you from all angles. Anyway thanks for the reminder.
’tis a lovely spot certainly - the rest of the photoset is just as impressive. I have an uncle in that neck of the woods for many years now.
Beautiful! I was reading just last week about the invasion/enslavement of the population of THAT Baltimore via slugger o’toole. Fascinating.
I’ll be “borrowing” the images for my wallpaper for a time. Go raibh maith ag do mhuintir astu.
Borrow away Kelly, though I don’t have access to much greater resolution. I’ll pass on your enthusiasm.
Such lovely photos, I think I would love to have a mural painted on my bedroom wall, but which one? Then I would fall in love with another photo and want that one painted on my wall so I think it’s best that I just admire your photos.
