I is for Ireland: a first sunrise

Carraroe, early morning over Galway Bay and Atlantic Ocean

There is nothing quite like waking up with a sense of anticipation - a new place, a new country, a new adventure. 

We are in Ireland, my first visit.

So we were up at sunrise, walking and taking in our environment. 

And it is quite lovely indeed. 

We are here in an historic time too as captured by W B Yeats:

Quote from "Easter 1916": 

Now and in time to be,

Wherever green is worn,

Are changed, changed utterly:

A terrible beauty is born.
