"When anxious, uneasy, and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused."

People would do well to remember that these words are every bit as true today as they were all those years ago

@Aoifedowdartist Love this!

[Brenda McLaughlin @brendamcl]

Totally agree. Gigs have changed drastically in past few years. Such a shame, actually so off putting to the real music fans who want to listen!

First time seeing a beautifully exquisite, elegant, elusive black Swan today!
The most stunning creature.

If God can visit us, even when our hearts seem like a lowly manger, we can truly say: Hope is not dead; hope is alive and it embraces our lives forever! #Christmas #Jubilee2025

"In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back."

@RTE_PrimeTime @aoifehegs @MiriamOCal @RTEOne This was heartbreakingly sad to watch. Another needless death . We should all be protesting on the streets! Our health system is a shambles & no one should have to be at the mercy of it.

Fanad Head Lighthouse - Aurora 2024🍀

I photographed this lighthouse for the first time in 2009. It was also the first time I came to this place. Never in my life would I have thought that I would be photographing her 15 years later against full scale Aurora 😍
