Almost Tropical
by Mark Westlake (Mark Westlake)

Camera:

Olympus E-500

Location:

Dog's Bay, Co. Galway

Ireland

Photographer Notes:

You might think this photo was taken in some exotic tropical location but it really was taken in Ireland! October 6th proved to be as good a day as any this year. This was the penultimate day of our vacation to Inishbofin Island and the Connemara area of Co.Galway. So now it looks like you'll not only have to visit Ireland for the scenery but also the weather!

What a gorgeous capture in a scenic country, Mark! Yup, I would love to untie that boat and row it around the area as I breath in the fresh air and drink in the beauty of your awesome land. I hope that you had a terrific vacation.

Wow... How beautiful!! Mark, in Denmark we also had a very beautiful Oct. 6th.... :) Wonderful sunshine, no wind and about 15-17 degrees centigrade....

A truly beautiful scene, Mark! Wonderful blue sky & sea! You should lead some photographic tours as you know all the best scenic places to visit!

This setting can compete with Florida any day when you have weather like this! In fact, it is even better because it is devoid of tourists!
