Donncha Ó Caoimh<p>Ruins and Beacons</p><p>The Baltimore Beacon can be spotted between the ruins of a Franciscan Friary on Sherkin Island. The Beacon is around 900m behind the ruins, sitting on a cliff overlooking the sea.</p><p>The Friary, known locally as The Abbey, was founded in 1460, and it continued to act as a religious building until 1650, when it was confiscated by Cromwellian soldiers.</p><p><a href="https://inphotos.org/2024/12/09/ruins-and-beacons/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">inphotos.org/2024/12/09/ruins-</span><span class="invisible">and-beacons/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Cork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ireland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/SherkinIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SherkinIsland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/BaltimoreBeacon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BaltimoreBeacon</span></a></p>
Donncha Ó Caoimh<p>The Sherkin Boat</p><p>If you walk over to Cow Strand on Sherkin Island, you’ll come across this boat, maybe. At least in 2015 you would have. It might be gone by now.</p><p>Take a look at Google Maps linked in my blog post. I think that’s this boat.</p><p><a href="https://inphotos.org/2024/10/09/the-sherkin-boat/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">inphotos.org/2024/10/09/the-sh</span><span class="invisible">erkin-boat/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ireland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Cork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/SherkinIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SherkinIsland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/boat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boat</span></a></p>
Donncha Ó Caoimh<p>Horses on Sherkin Island</p><p>We were visiting Sherkin Island in 2015 when I saw a rider pulling another horse along with him. This was on Cow Strand, but I'd seen him riding on Silver Strand earlier in the day. A lovely, warm, August day just before school was about to start again.</p><p><a href="https://inphotos.org/2024/10/07/horses-on-sherkin-island/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">inphotos.org/2024/10/07/horses</span><span class="invisible">-on-sherkin-island/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Cork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ireland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/SherkinIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SherkinIsland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/horses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>horses</span></a></p>
