Welcome to H-Island! This is a secret spot we discovered a while ago. If you are really interested what island it is, feel free to email me. Why am I not publishing the whole name of that place? Well, first of all it is somewhat dangerous (see second last picture – these are actual stairs you have to walk on – one mistake and you are flying) – also it is privat land and you need to ask permission of the farmer to walk over his land. It’s all gated ! And last reason … The seals …. We already feel very bad to scare that seal so badly. In fact it was all fine until I started taking pictures with my medium format camera. Poor seal – it probably thought it was a gun or something.

Back in the days you could make a couple of easy bucks for killing seals and trading in seals heads for 4 pounds each. But still – fishermen are still hating seals. They estimate that every seals eats 1.000 pounds worth of fish. Not sure how they come up with that number … POUNDS! It’s Euros now! …

More Pictures …. on my Ireland Blog … by the way my Ireland Blog got a facelift
