The Thalassa at Ballycastle

The Thalassa at BallycastleThis view depicts a view from one of the most stunning beaches in Northern Ireland in Ballycastle on the north coast, where I also grew up spending many Summer days on this beach. I have used a warm colour palette to reflect the setting sun which also creates a beautiful 'glow' of light through the dramatic wave in the foreground. In the background the beautiful tall ship, the 'Thalassa Barkentijn' adds further interest with its grand and distinctive

This view depicts a view from one of the most stunning beaches in Northern Ireland... in Ballycastle on the north coast, where I also grew up spending many Summer days on this beach.

I have used a warm colour palette to reflect the setting sun which also creates a beautiful 'glow' of light through the dramatic wave in the foreground.  In the background the beautiful tall ship, the  'Thalassa Barkentijn' adds further interest with its grand and distinctive design.  A dutch vessel, it has visited this part of the Irish coastline many times, often part of whiskey tours and maritime festivals in the area.  

I am very grateful to local photographer Jacqui Wright, also from Ballycastle, for giving me permission to use her amazing photograph.
