Gales and lashing rain don't really make for good photography but if you know an area well then there are often sheltered locations and crashing waves, find those two things together combined with a little patience and it will be a fine experience.
Here, out on Slea Head at Dingle's, and Ireland's, most westerly point we got just that.
Low clouds spoil the view but crashing waves at the coast more than make up for it.
