# Rocky Kenmare Bay Shoreline

Posted on 27th December, 2017

Rocky shoreline of Kenmare Bay taken early in the morning just after Christmas 2017. There was a weird eery atmosphere and it was completely silent.

The sky is overcast, casting a bluish tone over the scene.](data:image/png;base64,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)Rocky shoreline of Kenmare Bay
