Seems as winter is drawing in I’m spending more and more time in & around Garrettstown. This was a great opportunity to visit as a huge storm was beating the hell out of the beach (and anyone brave enough to get close enough to it). Like those two unfortunate people above, who I managed to catch a series of while holding back my own storm of laughter.

Maybe it’s just me, but I found the whole thing sidesplittingly funny and tragic in almost equal proportions. I’m just an asshole I suppose. As it happens, I got a few more of people being soaked in unique ways so not the worst day I’ve ever spent at the beach.
heh heh heh…excellent
It’s not just in Galway that people insist on standing in the path of waves
Last time we visited Garrettstown in a storm some poor unfortunates car was being hit (and moved) by the waves - I’m sure he came back and thought “hmm.. .I didn’t think that I had parked here..>”
“Maybe it’s just me, but I found the whole thing sidesplittingly funny and tragic in almost equal proportions.”
It’s not just you! The best bit is that (in the first pic) the girl points at the water as if to indicate a certain ominous tempestuousness. One can almost detect the thought “Something not good might be about to happen here” forming in her mind as she withdraws her hand.
Great stuff.
