RHH's photos with the keyword: strand

While in Northern Ireland we spent a great deal of time walking the beaches, or strands, as they are called. Northern Ireland has many fabulous beaches on the north coast, but climate and the coldness of the North Sea mean that they are not as popular as other European beaches. This is Portstewart Strand, a two-mile beach to the west of the town of Portstewart. We walked the beach to its western end at the River Bann and then back to Portstewart where we enjoyed some honeycomb ice cream.

These are the two ladies with whom I spent the last three weeks. In front is our oldest daughter, Jennifer, a renal doctor in the City Hospital in Belfast, and behind is my wife, Nancy. The photo was taken while walking the Portstewart Strand.

This is Portstewart Strand in County Londonderry in Northern Ireland near the town of Portstewart. We walked the strand from end to end one of the days we were in Northern Ireland.
