Irelandscapes | Storm Agnes Hits the N Irish Coast (Irish Sea and coast storm weather scenery) @Irelandscapes | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 30 minutes ago.
Scenes captured yesterday on the Lecale Peninsula in South County Down, followed by the return trip via Strangford. Nothing like parking up and watching the scene unfold to some classical music on the radio - or the Shipping Forecast if it's the right time of day. The lighthouse featured is St John's Point - with it's original high beam light thanks to the local community who are intent on keeping the original machinery as a working tribute to the engineering of great Irish lighthouses. At night, that beam can be experienced for miles as it hits the shoreline and illuminates the houses of local people. Most lighthouses in the area, like Donaghadee and The Copelands have now had their lights replaced with winking LED's.
