A couple of weeks ago I published my first image from my October trip to Wexford, and Waterfords UNESCO World Geopark, known as the Copper Coast and today I want to share another image from that trip. Today’s image is from a beautiful sunrise at one of the many beaches dotted around this stretch of coastline, it is called Ballydwan. It, like so many of the beaches here, boasts some fantastic sea-stacks and dramatic cliffs. To photographers (and maybe others) Ballydwan is famous for one sea-stack in particular, however this image is from the other end of the beach where you’ll can find a submerged Stegosaurus. Everyone thinks of rock outcroppings and sea-stacks in terms of dinosaurs, right? Its not just me? 🙂

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. It’s has been another year of discovery for me as I continue my photographic journey and your kind words of encouragement and support mean a great deal to me. Thank you for your company. May you all find peace and happiness during this special time of year.
