The Wild Atlantic Way on the west coast of Ireland certainly provided some memorable sights (and weather!) during the week long stay my wife Liz and I enjoyed, driving this amazing and varied landscape.
One such was the Black Head lighthouse, perched right on the edge of the sea on the limestone pavement of the Burren National Park in County Clare.

It's funny how all my time lapse videos from the week's holiday my wife Liz and I enjoyed in the west of Ireland feature clouds!
Most of the clouds we encountered were of the serious, rain treatening variety, but we did have some fine weather to enjoy as well, as can be seen from this time lapse video shot just a few yards from our holiday cottage in East Clare.

Whew! I've finally reached the end of the images I've chosen from our week on Gran Canaria last February in the Canary Islands to present here at goHOWiE.com, with this somewhat random selection of photos that didn't quite fit in any other grouping.

To my mind, the less developed north coast of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands is much more interesting than the touristic south, so my wife Liz and I spent most of our holiday week exploring this side of the island.
One of our favourite places on the north coast must be Puerto de Las Nieves, with various images from the town shown here.

One of my pleasures while on holiday in foreign climes is to drive the lesser travelled roads and see out of the way places.
