Eventide over Bonane

Forgive me, this is not really a Blog Post. I drove home to Bonane from Bantry late this evening via the Priest’s Leap road and was treated to a most beautiful sunset over the Bonane valley. I stopped the car and took a few snaps, two of which I want to share with you here.

I mean, seriously: Tourists are paying good money for what we can enjoy right on our door steps. We are so lucky!

    It was that beautiful sunset on the cover of the Kenmare News that enticed me to read your article on page 28! I agree, we are surrounded by the most breathtaking scenery everyday of our lives, we are so blessed. I suppose with the hurly burly of modern life we become somewhat immune to the beauty. We need to leave home for a week to reset our values.

    It’s much like good health and winning All Ireland’s we need to lose it for a while to truly see what we have. Once again we appreciate it … and sometime later we take it for granted!

    PS great website as far as I’m concerned you can never have enough websites about Bonane!

      Thanks a lot for your lovely comments, Elaine. I hope we might get to enjoy another few such sunsets before our winter starts.
