<p>La scogliera aveva un forte effetto su di me: ogni volta che ci andavo, col viso sempre sferzato dal vento, sentivo il sangue scorrermi nelle vene più veloce: provavo una parvenza di libertà.<br />
Ma col tempo mi accorgevo che l'effetto di quel panorama così maestoso non era più così forte. Volta dopo volta, l'effetto diventava impercettibilmente meno potente e quando me ne resi conto le scogliere erano ormai diventate un posto come un altro, buono per portarci gli amici che venivano sull'isola a trovarmi.<br />
Anche in questo paradiso ero riuscito a ingabbiarmi nella routine, nella consuetudine: non che stessi male, però la gioia dei primi tempi era irrimediabilmente sparita e con essa quel senso di libertà che tanto mi piaceva e emozionava.<br />
Fu durante una di quelle visite ormai apatiche, mentre ero seduto quasi sul bordo a guardar le onde che s'infrangevano, che mi arrivò addosso un enorme cappello di paglia e dietro di esso, una figura femminile, con un vestito a fiori e la gonna che svolazzava.</p>

<p>We just happened to see this incredible area while driving, and HAD to pull over. Tides in western Ireland often rise/fall by 10 or more feet, so bays backing up into rivers is commonplace.</p>

<p>Gorse is considered an invasive species in many areas of the world, but its yellow flowers contrast nicely with heather.</p>

<p>An important town on the southern coast, based on its strategic location and two forts protecting the inlet that were the source of many battles in days of yore.</p>
