My old reliable - watching the moonrise over Haulbowline Lighthouse from Ballagan shore this evening. It looked like the horizon was clouded over, so I was delighted to see it break through.

Morning magic on Carlingford Lough from this time last year. Moonset behind Haulbowline Lighthouse, captured from Cranfield Beach, Co. Down, looking towards Ballagan Point, Co. Louth. You can see one of the old WWII lookout posts - Lookout Post #1 of the 83 stations once dotted along the coastline.

Morning stillness of the Mournes
This morning’s view of the Mournes was almost like looking at a watercolour painting. Still waters, low-lying fog/mist and some moody reflections. Taken from Ballagan Shore looking across to Greencastle - you can see the silhouette of the castle mid-photo.

Caught this beautiful moment as the sun rose beside Haulbowline Lighthouse like it was melting into the sea. This “omega” sunrise - named after the Greek letter it resembles - turned Carlingford Lough into a molten mirror. Photo taken from Ballagan shore at 6:45am.
