" Loughshinny Harbour, Co. Dublin " - a photo on Flickriver

, " I remember the night when he came in,
From the wintry cold and the damp,
A giant of a man in an oilskin coat
With a bundle that told he was a tramp
He stood at the bar and he called for a pint
Then he sat and gazed at the fire,
On a night like this to be safe and dry,
Is my one and only desire,

Then in a voice that was hushed and low,
He said listen, Ill tell to you a tale,
How a man of the sea became a man of the road.
And never more would set sail,
I fished out of Howth and Killybegs, Ardglas and Baltimore,
But the cruel sea has beaten me,
And I vow to sail her nevermore,

So heres to those that are dead and gone,
The friends that I loved dear,
And heres to you, and Ill bid you adieu,
Tell them " Donegal Danny`s been here me boys,
Donegal Danny`s been here "

Two verses and a chorus from an Irish folk son "Donegal Danny" about the drowning of 5 fishermen off the cost of Donegal in the 1950s

The small north County Dublin village of Loughshinny is one of those lovely off the track places that Ive only discovered recently. Its a very pretty place with its old boathouse, Martello tower and with Lambay island just lying a mile off shore it has that "times past" atmosphere to it. The colourful fishing trawlers are moored along the old pier where the fishermen mend their nets and lobster pots before heading out on the rising tide.These fishing villages have all but disappeared from this part of the world these days and this is one of the last ones.I think we should treasure and preserve them. Over fishing by big European "factory" ships together with the effects of climate change has practically wiped out fishing here in Ireland. Its very sad!
I had to try and improve this photo so I did a bit of HDR work on it and the exposure wasnt great as it was a bit dark. It still has a few flaws in it as Im sure you will notice but I only got one pic of it so here it is flaws and all!
Thanks for dropping by!

Heres a link with lots of info on the village
