Back in Galway
I'm back in Galway for a few weeks. Weather as expected for this time of the year: wet, dark and windy. After a hot summer back in Romania, I can't say I mind the weather here too much...

Diving the Bills Rocks
I found this picture of me on the net recently. It was taken by Tom Moore before diving the Bills Rocks in Ireland, July of 2009. Roughly eight miles from Purteen Harbour, the Bills Rocks are famous for their spectacular underwater drop offs, crystal clear water and abundant sea life. I remember that weather was changing for the worst, the swell was already quite big. We dived the northern wall as it was more sheltered. Followed the almost vertical wall down to 40 meters and then headed mostly west for the duration of the dive. The water was very clear, the impressive wall covered in anemones was teeming with life. The only worry was avoiding being sucked into the gully visible at the top of the image, where the underwater current was extremely strong. The bumpy ride back to Purteen Harbour seemed to take forever, mainly for being stuck in a cold wetsuit for almost an hour. The Bills is a great dive site and I'm lucky to have dived it!

Back home for the winter...
After leaving Ireland and driving 3031km in 36 hours stretched over 5 days I am finally home. No sign of winter yet.

Cliffs of Moher în Alb si Negru
Sunt câtiva ani buni de când n-am mai trecut pe aici așa că sâmbata trecută profitând si de vremea bună am hotărît să dăm o tură în zonă. Câteva poze...

Killary Harbour at sunset

A little bit on the wild side of HDR with this lenticular cloud on top of the mountain of Mweelrea, 817 meters high.

In asteptarea verii
Trebuie remarcat optimismul irlandez, la sfârsitul celei mai ploioase veri din istoria recentă a Irlandei oamenii încă mai speră într-o îndreptare spectaculoasă a vremii. Din 15 Iulie n-a fost zi fără ploaie, peste 40 de zile consecutive. Ceva se întâmplă! Toată lumea freamată, soapte, ghionturi, chicoteli... Într-un târziu aflu si eu motivul: se anuntă vreme bună pe vineri! Alte stiri: număr record de sinucideri în acest an. Cred ca înteleg de unde atâta optimism: pesimistii n-apucă toamna...

Primul contact cu apa

Azi am intrat în ocean pentru prima oară în acest an. Experienta poate fi descrisă într-un singur cuvânt: RECE - atât de RECE că nici peștii nu s-au întors încă din tările calde sau de unde si-or fi petrecând ei iarna. Într-o jumătate de oră n-am întâlnit decât două fâțe de vreo trei centimetri si un crab războinic cât un degetar, într-o zonă care în timpul verii e intesată până la refuz de vietați marine.
