While driving from Limerick to Cork via Mitchelstown I noticed an attractive cloudscape over the Galtees so I stopped and took this shot.
Lowestoft, on the Suffolk coast, is the eastern-most town in the United Kingdom. It was once a vitally important fishing port and over a hundred trawlers would come down from Scotland for the herring season. But now fishing has declined and the port is far less important than it once was. Part of it has been converted into a marina. The North Sea gas and oil industries, which once provided employment, are also in decline. It seems likely that the offshore wind industry could go the same way now that government subsidies are being reduced.
The southern end of Lowestoft (pictured from the harbour) was once an important traditional seaside town with hotels, a pier and golden sands. Some attempt has been made to promote the holiday industry, but these days so many people prefer to take their holidays abroad.

We are still getting pink sunsets most evenings from high altitude dust hanging around from the eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai in Tonga in January 2022.
A quick moment before the rain this afternoon. Interesting texture over the Golden Gate Bridge at Fort Point area. One of the classic spot to see it with many tourists.

Ennerdale Water - A walker appeared with dog just at right moment! - Think with the walker than without works better
Clouds always fascinate me and I found a few pics while trying to clean up an old backup drive, taken a couple of summers ago near Stewiake, Nova Scotia.
A lovely cloudscape over Shoreham Beach this evening. Somewhat chillier than yesterday evening though.
Sunrise at Sugarloaf Point lighthouse, Seal Rocks, NSW, Australia. Some 100 years ago, lots of seals resided on the rocks in front of the beach. Today, a lonesome dingo walks on the beach, and no trace of the seals... Whales can be spotted from this location as well. Nowadays the lighthouse is converted to a very nice bed & breakfast, highly recommended to stay. At this particular morning, a storm approached from overseas.

This photo was taken on the Chain Of Craters Road as it heads down the Hōlei Pali (Hōlei Escarpment), From the \ escarpment one can look out into the Pacific and view the lava delta complex that has built out into the sea. The upper portion of Chain of Craters Road (formerly Cockett's Trail) was dedicated on April 15, 1928. Built at a cost of $148,000, it ended at the rim of Makaopuhi Crater. Chain of Craters Road to the coast (to Kalapana) from Makaopuhi was opened in 1965, and then partly buried in 1969 at the start of the Mauna Ulu eruption. Post Mauna Ulu eruption, Chain of Craters Road was realigned and reopened in June 1979.
The coastal region of the park was home to a number of villages; Kamoamoa, Lae ‘Apuki, Kealakomo and others. Numerous trails, home sites, heiau (temple), petroglyphs and agricultural sites attest to the complex uses of this area over the centuries since first human settlement. During the 13th Century, Hawai‘i's first luakini heiau (a temple designated for human sacrifices) was built by Priest Pa‘ao. Waha‘ula (red mouth) Heiau was consecrated to the God Kū and remained in use till 1819 after King Kamehameha died. This and tens of thousands of other archeological sites have been buried under lava since 1969.
Since 1986, lava has flowed repeatedly over Chain of Craters Road/Highway 130. The Park's acreage has been increased by hundreds of acres and nearly 9 miles (14.5 km) of road have been inundated by the flows. In June 1989, Waha‘ula Visitor Center and associated buildings were burnt and covered by lava. The Waha‘ula Heiau was surrounded by lava more than once and finally buried entirely in August 1997. The Kamoamoa village site, heiau, campground, picnic area, and black sand beach were covered by lava in November 1992. In 2003, flows covered Chain of Craters road just past the Hōlei Sea Arch. Presently, the Chain of Craters Road is 18.8 miles (30.3 km) to the end of the road with an elevation change of about 3,700 ft. (1,127.8 meters). Chain of Craters Road begins off of Crater Rim Drive, 3.3 miles or 5.3 kilometers south of Kīlauea Visitor Center.
