I’m going it alone for Monochrome Monday this week.
I’m able to walk to Ballyloughane Beach from the place I’m staying in Galway. No, it’s not tropical, nor is it warm but it’s along the Wild Atlantic Way – a beautiful stretch of rugged Irish coastline. And it’s wonderful to wake up in the morning and hear the seagulls calling.

Perfect! Cold or not, if there are gulls screeching, it’s a great sign. 😃

It definitely has its own beauty. As you can imagine, this area is in high demand so no house by the sea, I’m afraid. But the place I’m looking at is only 30 min away!

Hey, that’s a hell of a lot closer to the shore than I am. That’ll work. 😃

I would be too. Will it get hot there in the summer?

Not super hot. They usually don’t get out of the 70’s … for about 2 weeks and then back to cold and rain! 😂 They say they have really two seasons: spring and fall. but the sun stays up till nearly 10 at night!

It’s a huge plus! The temperate climate means no extremes.

No, I meant the daylight until 10:00. I’d have a hard time living somewhere that didn’t get hot. But, there’s pubs, so I’d learn to make due. 😃

Hahaha! Probably. I’m kinda like a chameleon. I can generally find my niche in any environment. 😃

Beautiful shots. We traveled that coastline when my husband and I visited on our honeymoon. I’d take that over a tropical beach any day! Lovely!

A girl and her dog. Although the dog is very hard to spot given the terrain!

A crisp breeze in the morning on any coastline is nice. You’ve captured the beauty of this one. Black and White photos seem to tell their own story.

Thanks Darnell. I agree… there’s just something so dramatic about black and white images.
