From a recent sunset meets high tide paddle.

In the last photo the swimmer is heading back after looking for his sunken drone.

We’ll just have to keep it all going & growing so.

Dereenatra Pier, West Cork viewed from the sea.

Steps cut in the rock, rounded by time & tide.

Stone arch bridge & supporting bank wall where the stream meets the sea at Dereenatra, West Cork.

South side of eastern end of Castle Island, 1km south of the pier.

Two sheep graze on the grass partially covering the drystone wall. Abandoned buildings & trees shaped by the south westely winds. #WestCork

For #StandingStoneSunday a #Watercolour #sketch from way back in 2017 of the possible stone row on Mount Corin in #WestCork #Ireland. It is not clear if these are prehistoric, natural or perhaps part of an old stone boundary wall.

Kleine Fallobst-Freude auf einer (fast) öffentlichen Wiese.😊
Das Birnchen vom sehr alten Birnbaum nahm ich mit und dachte unweigerlich an den Herrn im Havelland.

Der Craft Shop in Bantry würde wohl meine Schuhe erkennen: Vor Jahren gekauft, reisen sie seitdem mit mir zwischen Deutschland und Irland hin und her.🧳

Fireworks over the 12 Arch Bridge & estuary, Ballydehob, to mark the close of the summer festival.

Always brings out a crowd.

Night time gathering on the three arch bridge, Ballydehob.

Any guesses what they’re waiting for?

I’ll post answer below later today.

There was a visible relief when I said I was going down the way they wanted to come up. ‘The short way’.

The dad was getting cramps in his thighs & knees. I fed him electrolytes, gave him 1 walking stick for his one hand.

We double checked where they had parked & set off. Slowly downwards.

No rush, plenty of rest & water stops, we got them down safely. While at the car a paraglider flew over. 🧵3

Last week I went for a slow walk across the barren hillsides of the Béara Peninsula and up to Hungry Hill.

I set off in the afternoon.

A couple of hours after leaving Castletownbere I met an elderly couple who had set off on the trail from Glengariff. I was the first person they met in about 9 hours of walking.

They were the only ones I met on day one.

Day two was to be similar with a twist… 🧵1/3

Our brother Tim got an answer from Irish Minister of Transport Eamon Ryan. I hope the new round of regulation updates on 4-wheel vs 3-wheel vehicles in Ireland comes along soon; we need as much zero-carbon innovation as possible, especially if it’s cheap and also fun! #personaltransport

There is a workshop coming up in early sept with the amazing duo from Terra Ignis Fermentation Collective.
Ignore the "smoke your own fish", it's all about wild fermented soft drinks...lemonade with a regional accent! And very affordable at only €50.
Check it out :)
