Cool

The mind is like water. When it’s turbulent, it’s difficult to see. When it’s calm, everything becomes clear. . . #ireland #instaireland #thisisireland #countymayo #wildatlanticwaymayo #wildatlanticway #wawhour #sea #sealovers #seaview #seascape #ocean #oceanlovers #water_perfection #earthfocus #visualsofearth #instagood #photooftheday #beautiful #beautifuldestinations #instadaily #keepitwild #outdoors #peoplescreatives #postitfortheaesthetic #visualsoflife #visualambassadors #gramslayers #nothingisordinary #seaspray (at Downpatrick Head) https://www.instagram.com/p/B43AZUQg9PX/?igshid=1ksafvx5iajit

The Pirate Queen

 All I hear today is the soft bleating of sheep on the green hill across the bay, but on a summer day like this in the late 16th century, the noises would have been numerous – cows bellowing, horses clopping on cobblestones, carts creaking, kids laughing and shouting, a blacksmith hammering…the noises of everyday life in a bustling village.

I am here to research a novel about the legendary Pirate Queen Grace O’Malley (a.k.a. Gráinne Ni Mháille) and was hoping a local friend’s connections will come through with a key to see inside the fortified tower. They don’t come through and the door remains firmly locked. But, maybe that’s for the best because my imagination has filled in the rooms of the four-story castle where Grace ruled her clan and settled after an illustrious career captaining her fleet of galleys up and down the coast of Ireland and beyond. I see colorful tapestries on the walls, furs on the flagstone floors, winding stone stairways, bricks of peat burning in a fireplace…

I stand on wave-smoothed rocks and imagine her on the rooftop battlements looking out to sea and thinking of all the loved ones she’d lost, the enemies she fought in battle, the face of the Queen of England (Elizabeth I) whom she accidentally offended by spitting into the fire as they sat together in Greenwich Palace. The two women were powerful rulers at a time when women were only valued for their housekeeping and childrearing abilities. I imagine the two had a lot in common. I hope they bonded over their shared challenges.

Looking at the tower keep today, and the peaceful surroundings, one would never know that such an impressive and feared woman once walked this shoreline and slept behind those walls. I sit in the silence and whisper a promise, “I’ll remember you.”

After a real miserable day in county Mayo in Ireland, we were given a wonderful, colourful evening right after the thunderstorm had passed. Great view to end the shooting day... ⁣ #instatravel #ig_travel #travel #travelphotography #traveleurope #ireland #irland #visitireland #reisen #reisefotografie #martinziaja #goexplore #eire #photographingireland #exploreireland #irlanda #countymayo #croaghpatrick #connacht #visitmayo #emeraldisle #wildatlanticway #wildatlanticwaymayo #thefullirish_ #benro #benrouk #canoneurope #haidafilter https://www.instagram.com/p/BurYURplaC9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=175hfqfmk8d2k

The long awaited @ancestry #ancestrydnaupdate! They tweaked some things and others fell off (like European Jewish and I know I have some up in my tree from #Frisians), and Ireland and Scotland seem a touch high to me for having one 2nd GGM from #CountyMayo (opinions?), and they’re still hiding #DutchAncestry in the England&NWE category, and I feel Italy has maybe been shortchanged somehow, but this actually makes a lot of sense to me when I break down the 25% contribution from each grandparent. Have you gotten an update? Share if you have! I love seeing these. 😆🔎 🧬 #ancestryupdate #ancestrydna #newyorksettlers #puertoricanancestry #germanpalatines #frenchancestry #italianancestry #southernitalianancestry #nativenewyorker #nycforlife 🗽 (at Westbury) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDJMGlp1dy/?igshid=yqagnu1ixej2

There will be times when you have to walk alone and it will be completely necessary. It will be necessary because you are going to a place that only you can find. . . #ireland #thisisireland #countymayo #wildatlanticwaymayo #wildatlanticway #wawhour #sea #sealovers #seascapephotography #seaside #seascape_lovers #seaview #seascapes #keepitwild #boat #instagood #photooftheday #beautiful #instadaily #instaireland #visualsoflife #visualambassadors #artofvisuals #earthfocus #visualsofearth #peoplescreatives #postitfortheasthetic #nothingisordinary #explore #exploremore (at Achill Sound) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7MTDl-AUmb/?igshid=1b74mdyucz3u4

Me old family stomping grounds, @ashfordcastle, County Mayo, Ireland. Clan Burke/duBurgh/de Burgo/Burca, were Anglo-Norman raiders who settled in Ireland in 1185. The Gibbons family name derives from Mac Giobuin, meaning "son of Gilbert" (du Burgh). My ancestors built this stronghold in 1228 and lost it to the Binghams in 1589. The @guinness family takes it over in 1852. When I visited in 2015 I asked for the family discount. They said they couldnt honor my request but that I would find many of my Gibbons family members still working here. 😉☘ #stpatricksday #happystpatricksday #ireland #irish #countymayo #ashfordcastle #burke #gibbons #irishgirl #ceadmilefailte #eirinngobrach #sláinte

It is said that St. Patrick fasted at the summit of Mayo’s famous Croagh Patrick mountain for 40 days and 40 nights back in 441 AD. The pilgrimage up the Reek dates back many centuries, but the 4+ mile hike up the Pilgrim’s Path inspires tens of thousands each year to find solace 2,500 feet above Clew Bay. ☘️💚❤️ Have you ever made this pilgrimage? @mayonorth @mayo.ie @mayowestie @mayowriter @mayogaabanter . . #Mayo #Maigheo #CountyMayo #mayoireland #croaghpatrick #croaghpatrickmountain #mayocounty #stpatrick #upmayo #clewbay #ireland #irish #holysite #holysites #pilgrimage #pilgrimspath #irishtravel (at Croagh Patrick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEq8trEgr9J/?igshid=8y9ydpcw9urb
