Silver Strand Beach near Galway City
Silver Strand (Gaelic: An Tra Gheal) is a popular tourist beach. It lies two kilometres west of Salthill, a beach-fronted suburb of Galway City. This image was taken about 3pm on the last day of August, 2015 - the day was dull with few beach goers. The sun eventually shone through a dark cloud cover and created interesting light effects. The Clare Hills lie some 12 kilometres distant across the sea forming a natural backdrop that stretches along the southern shore of Galway Bay.
