Driving to Salthill Promenade this morning, we were greeted with an unexpected sight – the Burren hills on the southern side of Galway Bay were covered in snow. The chilly conditions didn’t deter the swimmers, though it didn’t encourage them to linger in the water either.
The Martello tower near New Quay shimmering in the morning sun, with Abbey Hill covered in snow in the background.
Clouds billow across a snow-covered hill in the Burren. In the foreground are fields on Doorus, near Kinvarra.
That pose never gets old – a couple take pictures on the diving board at the end of Salthill Promenade with the snow-covered Burren hills in the background. The snow had melted by this afternoon.
