To shine a light in the darkness
After feeling the force of Storm Ashley all over Ireland yesterday and last night, the work of the Commissioners of Irish Lights and the Royal National Lifeboat Institute is more appreciated than ever. Here we have construction work in difficult conditions at Inishtearaght in County Kerry. While I am not familiar with the island, that coast, for all its beauty, is open to the full force of the southwesterlies and the power of the North Atlantic, and no doubt the light was a blessing to mariners. For those in peril on the sea!

Spatial NI has online OSNI mapping. Click "Basemap Gallery" (4 squares icon at the top).
Now would be a good time for a cup of tea.
