I was really struck by the colours in West Cork



the soft palette of the coastline

the ochres of Inchydoney, near Clonakilty:



and Barleycove from above:




the mauve rocks of amazing Dunworley Bay:





all the vast atlantic vistas



and Beara with its flashes of colour:




the ‘Old Forge’ slipway in Allihies is one of the best swim spots in Ireland:



Tralispean too was an epic bright-blue swim:
