'Burrishoole Sunset'
I snapped this image of the old Burrishoole stone bridge from the Great Western Greenway just a few Km outside Newport, Co. Mayo. The sun was about to set and just low enough to cast lovely golden rays along the channel and light up the clouds.
The seven-arched Burrishoole Bridge, crossing the Burrishoole channel, was built in the 18th century as part of the roadway between Newport and Mulranny. Then, in 1950, the road was re-routed along the former railway line to the north, located further downstream. The railway line, which ran from Westport to Achill, had been in operation from the 1880s until 1939.
