You've reached the end.
I walked up to photograph the Beacon and found a cow there first. It watched me carefully, judging if I was worthy of visiting the Baltimore Beacon. Or maybe it was just resting in the hazy sun of a warm afternoon in West Cork.
The tide was full, and the water had gone completely flat, so the stone arches came out twice in the frame. We were lucky. The weather back home in Blarney was atrocious, with rain falling from cloudy skies.
