Friday the 2nd of May 2025, Encountering shades of Blue and a landscape of Beauty in Sligo.

There are times when you hear about a place and see a place in photographs and think, wow! For what is it like in reality, and one of those places of course is Sligo, a county in Ireland and a county that is located between County Mayo and County Donegal, for it is another county that is also located on The Wild Atlantic Way, and it was on Friday the 2nd of May 2025, that I was fortunate enough to visit County Sligo, the first part of the trip of course was visiting the small town/city of Sligo, with its unique architecture and laid back peaceful atmosphere and some charming independent shops selling a plethora of Irish Designed and local crafts, before heading to the following two places, the first one being Strandhill and the second one being Rosses Point, two places that are just a short distance away from the middle of Sligo itself, and that could be akin to "a kind of Irish equivalent to Bondi Beach and the other Beaches of Sydney." For they are locations in which subtle differences make for some incredibly interesting opportunities to capture some truly glorious landscapes, vistas and views of a landscape shaped by WB Yeats and of course nature, which provides an interesting kind of artwork, and from a slightly higher perspective with the drone I was able to capture these photos, on a day of sheer blue sky, a delightful warm temperature and views overlooking a truly spectacular coast.
