Sunset Isle
Sunset Isle
A sunset backlights this aerial view of Clare Island, Co. Mayo. The beautiful Atlantic ocean on the island's blue flag beach is the perfect place to enjoy some diving with some of the clearest waters in Ireland.
Behind the Image
Weather conditions such as these are unpredictable on a small island off the west coast of Ireland, but when they occur I make the most of them. Sitting like a drifting leaf on the ocean, this unique perspective of Clare Island takes on a different form from its iconic silhouette seen from ground level. As the sun dips below the horizon in the distance beyond Achill, the full view of the harbour, Knockmore, and lighthouse can all be seen from this vantage point.
