Another breezy day on Valentia Island

Yesterday , 1st of February, again a violent storm front passed Southwest Ireland. Early in the morning about 30 slates were ripped from the roof of our house but throughout the day the gales where too strong to think about doing any repair work. So in the afternoon we decided to stop lamenting about mother nature´s muscle play and took off to get some impressive views around the island.

Valentia Lighthouse with the waves climbing up Beginish Island 

No way to get to the lighthouse, even two hours before high tide

You don't want to go any further

This used to be the well maintained road to the lighthouse

The mighty waves keep rolling in

Sun and seaspray over Valentia Radio Station

I eases up in the evening at  Foilhommerum Bay and Port Magee
