A sunset on Co. Mayo, Ireland

We went out for a meal with our son this evening then for a walk round Lough Lannagh. We left him about 8.30pm and it was still quite light. I love the long twilights that Ireland gets. On the drive home we stopped to take photos of a very lovely sunset. The water is Lough Conn and the mountain is Croagh Patrick which I’ve written about before. It’s time for bed for us and tomorrow we go to Drumshanbo in Co. Leitrim, to visit the friend of a friend. She is a nun in a convent there. Goodnight for now.

I have been quite lucky and seen some spectacular sunsets at Oban on the west coast of Scotland and at Holyhead in Wales. Camping both times

It's easy to miss a good sunset sometimes if you get involved with other 'stuff'.

@Ronrybs I guess. I hadn't thought of that. On our little farm, the sunrises always took place behind a big hill, not that we would have been up to see them anyway. lol

@JudyEv Living in West London, the sunsets are less than spectacular!

@JudyEv I've been surprised how many posts you've managed to get up while you're on vacation.

It's been a pretty full-on day but I might get another post up soon.

I've never realized that Ireland was so close to Iceland and Norway, no wonder it's so cold there. Do they have really short nights in spring and summer?

Yes, they do. It's totally different to what we're used to in Australia.

I can feel the peace of Ireland Judy looking at the photo, the peace of Ireland that I so recall. I am in the wrong place I tell you. Have a good sleep.

Lovely photo! You're staying quite busy, a good thing on vacations. We have long twilights in summer here too, till nearly 10 PM.

Lovely sunset indeed. Light at 8.30 p.m. would be a very unusual sight for me.

It's unusual for us too but I could get used to it very quickly.

We thought so too. We waited till we found somewhere where we could park off the road and then we took photos.
