Ballintoy, towards Rathlin

Another one from Ballintoy - this time looking towards Rathlin Island.  Rathlin is the bigger island just visible in the background - not the big lumps of rock in the mid-foreground.  They probably have a name as well, mind you - most rocks in the sea do around here - but I don't know it.

Generally speaking I avoid going anywhere near the sea when there's a storm about - (and we'll be getting plenty of those over the next few months) but this little beach might be a safe option - there's reasonably good access and given its shape it might be possible to stand at sea level but a good distance away from the water.  We'll see - I'll have to do a risk assessment or two before committing.

  1. Looks like a great spot to do some photography. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

    1. You're not wrong, Marcus - it's a nice spot to find yourself in, for sure. Especially when the day is drawing to a close and the light fading - it can be very tranquil. It's easy to feel connected to all the people and clans who lived, fought and died along this coastline (and over in Rathlin) long ago.
