Doolin Waves

There’s not many leaves left on the trees after the gales that swept across Galway Bay on Saturday. The sea was pretty rough, and heavy showers meant that the streets were more empty than one would expect for an October Bank Holiday weekend. These pictures are from another stormy weekend earlier in the year – taken near Doolin in Co. Clarein July, during the alleged ‘summer’.


When the waves are very big, the churning motion of the sea generates a coffee-coloured foam on the water.

These pictures were shot with a high shutter speed, which freezes the motion of the waves.

This picture was taken at the same location as this one.
