The Cliffs of Mohher sea cliffs at the southwestern edge of the Burren region of County Clare. The cliffs rise above the Atlantic Ocean and at their highest they are 702 feet just north of O'Brien's Tower.
We traveled to the Cliffs of Moher on the sixth day of our tour in Ireland. It was windy and cool on the day before this stop. If it looked like rain on other days the storms seemed to pass us over. It was not so when we arrive at the cliffs. It was windy, cold and it was raining horizontally! So what I did is resign ourselves to the fact the we'd not be getting any photos here. Well, I was wrong. After lunch and some time spent in the gift shop the storm died down enough so that we were able to walk out to the cliffs. Yes, and photos were a lot of fun to take!
Like many of the places we stopped in Ireland the sites were spectacular. The Cliffs of Moher were no exception.
O'Brien's Tower
O'Brien's Tower is a round tower built near the midpoint of the cliffs, built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien. From the cliffs and the tower the Aran Islands, Balway Bay, and Loop Head can be seen.
I was another grand day we had on this adventure!

Thank you so much for sharing your holiday photos and experiences with us, Cathy.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
...these cliffs look like the north shore of Maui, but for the most part the sun shines!
ReplyDeleteDramatic and beautiful! I love vicarious travel. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCathy - it seems you were rewarded by your patience. On our trips to the UK, we find that the weather near the coasts is often the most unpredictable, which can be a curse or a blessing! Thanks for posting these lush photos for everyone at Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Ireland... its always a fine remembering to read about Emerald Ireland. Thank you for sharing. By the way, I was 4times there...
ReplyDeleteHappy MosaicMonday
Stunning views & impresive cliffs. Happy MM.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIreland is on my bucket list of places to visit. I would love to see the Cliffs of Moher. I am glad the weather was better for your visit. Wonderful photos, thanks for sharing your trip! Have a happy day and a great new week!
Your photography of the cliffs is wonderful. I, too, have been to the cliffs when I traveled with college students in 2003. I loved Ireland, and yes it was windy, but no rain that day.
ReplyDeleteThe coast of Ireland is a spectacular area to be sure and it is a rare privilege to be experience it. And in these days of digital photography we can memorialize the visit with as many pictures as we wish, as long as we are prepared to submit to the tyranny of editing them all when we get home!
ReplyDeleteI remember a similarly spectacular boat journey. We traveled to Cape Clear Island past the Fastnet Lighthouse, but unfortunately before digital photography.
ReplyDeleteWonderful views!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these magnificent views, Ireland is so beautiful and I wish to see it someday!
ReplyDeleteSuch a spectacular part of the world! I love these wonderful images so much :)

Wow Cathy - that WAS an adventure! Thank you for sharing it with us at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2019/12/coffee-shop-humor.html
ReplyDeleteThe sights do indeed look spectacular. I think sometimes the worse the weather the better the photo.
ReplyDeleteI like the views!
ReplyDeleteO’Brien’s Tower stands proud and majestic in such a spectacular location like Cliffs of Mother. Come shine, come rain, nature’s manifestation in any weather is awe-inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
