After a brilliant week here, exploring the Wild Atlantic Way, we will indeed be sad to move on. We have seen some beautiful scenery and fabulous beaches… So onwards tomorrow, and northwards towards the Giants Causeway and the whiskey that is Bushmills!
Peat, formed by the long term decay of vegetation in boggy wetlands, has been a fuel in Ireland for thousands of years. Although increasingly frowned on as ecologically unsound, it is still harvested by traditional methods, cutting it by hand, and leaving in small piles to dry out. 
Maybe not the most attractive view to greet a new arrival in Dublin, but then ferry ports are seldom anything other than run-down/functional. Pleased to say it got better when we left the port…
We are off on holiday (vacation) on Thursday, and I really didn’t want to go in a dirty car, so off to the local hand car wash. Have to say they made a brilliant job of cleaning the car, and at a decent price…
Sadly, we won’t be waking up to this view of Porthleven tomorrow – yesterday was our last full day, and we headed home today. We’ve had a glorious few days in Cornwall (almost a fortnight in fact) – we’ve seen wonderful scenery, walked on some beautiful sandy beaches, and eaten some excellent food. What’s not to like! We will be back…

Just love this row of colourful beach huts at Swanpool Beach, near Falmouth. Each is named after a type of fish. When we walked back a while later, several of them were open, spoiling the symmetry of the shot. 
Rather windy tonight here in Cornwall so didn’t venture out to take photos, but then this awesome sunset appeared… A grab shot with my trusty Sony camera captured it perfectly. 
One of our objectives for our trip to Cornwall was to visit St Ives – home of both Tate Modern St Ives, and the Barbara Hepworth sculpture garden. The garden was inspirational, and the gallery challenging, but this piece on display in the gallery really resonated with me…
Walls and ceiling in our holiday accommodation – I was taken with the juxtaposition of the angles and shades of light flooding through the windows. 
Bluebells are typically around for about three weeks here, but the rather changeable weather has already battered them somewhat – I don’t expect them to be at their peak for more than another week at best. All of which encouraged me to get out and photograph bluebells at a different location today, while I still could.
