Wednesday the 30th of April 2025, The Fjord, The Painted Sky. Finding Beauty and Contrasts of County Galway and a glorious Sunset.

Ah, the wonders of Ireland never cease to amaze and it was on Wednesday the 30th of April 2025, that a trip to the city of Galway was on the cards, a truly delightful city with a plethora of history and architecture to leave anyone wanting to uncover its curiosities even more - and after a relaxing time visiting and exploring Galway it was time to head back towards Westport, just over the border slightly in County Mayo, but to get back to County Mayo, a delightful drive along the coast road heading to the west, with views over Galway Bay towards County Clare in the distance and The Burren could be seen. But the alien almost moonlike landscape gave way, as the coast road headed towards the mountains of Connemara, and after driving through the delightful landscapes of the Maam Valley, the location that I had arrived at was of course the village of "Leenaun." Situated at the top end of Killary Fjord, a location that was also made famous by the film called, The Field which was filmed in and around the village, but with a harsh light, I just had to get the drone up, for I had visited Leenaun before, but to see it from above with a harsh light and the sun setting in the distance, well that was going to be a challenge, but I also wanted to capture some of the Fjord as well, and I had to experiment for that, but of course here is what I had managed to capture.

And of course when I got back to Westport, after what had been a delightful day of exploring the city of Galway and the peace and serenity of Leenaun, I knew that there was possibly going to be another delightful sunset, and surely enough there was, I was looking at the colours in the sky that kept on changing and I knew that I had moments in which to capture yet more works of art in the sky, and of course these photos below are what I had managed to capture, at the end of what had been a delightful day.
