Description
Ballywhoriskey, Fanad Head Peninsula, County Donegal, Ireland
Gazing upon the rural and lesser seen area of Ballywhoriskey on the northwest coast of Fanad peninsula. An area so natural, untouched and tranquil it looks and feels exactly the way it was a hundred years ago. Very little if anything has changed in this region over the centuries which is fascinating
as areas like these are getting “few & far between” in our contemporary times.
What I find mesmerising about this place is how these smaller beach coves of Tra Beg Bay and the larger Ballyhiernan Beach in the distance look like giant clam shells when viewed from above. In my mind I always visualise three giant shells or even the three leaves of a shamrock (known as faith, hope & love)
when looking upon this stretch of shore.
As you may tell, I have once again let my mind wander deeply into this photograph
but as I’ve always said, we could all be doing worse than simply enjoying and overthinking the beauty of our surrounding environments every now and then….
