Portrush, our base for two nights in Northern Ireland
Beautiful sunrise during my morning 7-mile run from Portrush (carried my DSLR)
Dunluce Castle, dramatically located on a coastal cliff. This was the turnaround point for my run.
More great views during my morning run on the return
I tried racing these horses down the beach, but it was like I was running againt Bekele of Ethiopia
Magnificent sky on the beach of Portrush, across the street from our B & B
Rays of the sun, extending down to earth as if from heaven above
Sophia loved Northern Ireland and asked when we could go back
