Description
I spotted this boat a couple of days previously and knew it would make a great focal point for a shot. I needed to walk a good distance along the coast to reach the boat, which was so nice as it was a beautiful calm evening. The boat is anchored in a sheltered part of the bay, protected by some of the islands dotted around its inner waters. With the sun setting to the west the most natural composition was to include the islands in the background. This worked very well as the small cliffs on the seaward side of each island glowed in the low evening sun. I had intended to include Croagh Patrick in the shot, which is just over the right hand side of the boat, but it clouded over as I was waiting for the right light to capture the scene.

Description
This pretty pub is situated just outside Westport town, along the old coast road to Louisburgh. It overlooks the inner most waters of Clew Bay with its many small islands and inlets visible from here. The building has a very traditional feel with its whitewashed walls and thatched roof, making it very popular with holiday makers. Croagh Patrick can be seen in the background which commands the southern shoreline of the Bay. A shebeen (Irish: sibÃn) was originally an illicit bar or club where excisable alcoholic beverages were sold without a licence.

Description
There are many great views along the road that follows the northern coast of Clew Bay but this is definitely one of the best. From here you are looking south over the bay towards Croagh Patrick. In the scene you can see how the small islands and inlets dotted around the bay form fantastic patterns. The shot was taken shortly after sunrise, when the low morning sun really brings out the detail in the landscape. The small boat in the scene is always moored in the same place, making a perfect focal point for some foreground interest.
