Sunrise at Lackavrea, Part I

If you were anywhere between Galway City and Maam Cross last Tuesday morning, all you would have seen was …very little, as a wall of fog billowed off Lough Corrib. West of Maam Cross, it was clear, as a star-filled night sky gave way to the clear blue of morning.  Driving towards Maam Bridge from the west, the fog began to blow west from the lake towards the sea – and around Lackavrea, the hill that overlooks the lake’s western edge.
