Sand and Rocks (73)
The south-east coast of Ireland is known as Ireland’s Gold Coast and although this doesn’t guarantee a rich stock of gold nuggets in the cliffs, it can refer to the wonderful golden beaches scattered along the coastline. I especially like the fabulous rock formations whose variety of colours and patterns are recorded here.
