I made this from the Irish Lights helicopter, somewhere off the north Mayo coast, and the moment Achill Head came into view I forgot I'd ever been there on foot. From a thousand feet up, every familiarity with the place just evaporated. That long finger of rock reaching into the Atlantic, tapering to a pyramidal peak, the ocean pulling white around its base on every side.
What struck me was how committed this ridge is to the sea. The bulk of the island falls away behind it, and the headland just keeps going. Cliffs dropping hundreds of metres on both sides. Scattered sea stacks standing alone in the swell below, broken off and holding their ground. The water here is extraordinarily dark green, that deep Atlantic colour where the continental shelf drops away and there's real depth beneath you.
The light was diffuse that day, filtered through patches of cloud, which suited the image perfectly. Hard sunlight would have buried the cliff faces in contrast. Instead, every ridge and fold in the rock reads clearly, and the breaking waves become the brightest thing in the frame, drawing your eye along the coastline. I've walked parts of that headland. But this is a perspective you simply cannot get from a cliff path, and very few people will ever have it!
