❣️ Ballycastle at dusk. 💙

That soft pink sky, Fair Head in the distance, the harbour lights beginning to twinkle - the Leap of Faith sculpture, and a wee red boat tucked in safe for the night.

Autumn on the Antrim coast at its finest.

What a beautiful Autumn morning at Tollymore Forest Park, Newcastle, Co. Down. 🍂. Nature paints a mighty pretty picture.

Thank you so much to William Davis for sending this one in this morning - it's always such a treat to receive photos from the Newcastle area, and this captures the colours perfectly.

Do you love getting out with the camera along our East Coast? From the Mournes to Strangford, and right up the County Down coastline - I would love to see and share your photos.

If you'd like to have your pictures featured on Scenic NI, just send them in via Messenger.

🍂 Murlough Bay – Autumn’s Golden Glow 🍁

There’s something quite special about Murlough Bay at this time of year. The hillsides are dressed in rich autumn colours, with the golden-brown bracken creating a beautiful contrast against the deep blue of the sea.

Looking towards the magnificent Fair Head, these two lovely photographs capture the rugged beauty and peaceful charm of one of our most spectacular coastal locations.

A little reminder of just how beautiful our corner of the world is. ❤️

📷 Photographs taken today by Kelly. Thank you, Anne, for sharing these lovely views with Scenic NI.

North Antrim Coast at its finest! 💙

Thank you to Jim McConville who spent "a fabulous 4 days" exploring our stunning North Coast and shared these beautiful shots with us.

📍 Photo 1: Fairhead - That dramatic light over the headland and Ballycastle Bay - you can almost feel the Atlantic rolling in.

📍 Photo 2: Ballintoy - Rugged basalt, crystal-clear pools and a lone gull - the Causeway Coast in miniature.

📍 Photo 3: Castlerock - Golden hour on the beach, looking towards the village. Pure peace.

📍 Photos 4 & 5: The Dark Hedges - Autumn light through the famous beech trees, still magical as ever.

We are so lucky to have this on our doorstep.

All photos by Jim McConville - thanks Jim! 🙏

What a fabulous image! ✨🎃

This photo was sent in to Scenic NI today by Ballycastle lady, Anne Kelly. It captures the Halloween Fireworks lighting up the sky over Ballycastle with Pans Rock Pier in the foreground — taken 7 years ago tonight! 🤩

What a perfect memory as we get ready for tonight's Halloween Fireworks display over the town again.

Scenic NI wish everyone a Very Happy, Safe and Spooktacular Halloween! 🎃

So - Let's light up Northern Ireland tonight and everyone join in the fun! 🎆

No doubt, many of our followers will be out enjoying the celebrations and fireworks this evening all throughout the Province and we’d love for you to send us in some of your photos. 📷

We'd love to see your Halloween snaps — from Ballycastle to Banbridge, Derry~Londonderry to Downpatrick, Enniskillen to Newcastle! 🎆

Camel Chronicle 14
🐪🐫🐪🐫🐪🐫🐪

Recap:

Still staying in Duffey’s old circus tent in Larne, Tam Paddy and Big Wull taught the camels some new local words.

Read on ….
🐪

Well Tam and Wull woke up next day - more local wurds tae share
And Dippy Daphne - Molly Doll said "Hi boys - "gie us mair"
Well Tam and Wull - delighted - how their wurds began to rhyme
We'll maybe get oor camels in a local pantomime

We'll do a new Aladdin - cheeky Humphrey was in IT
Or Ali Bab and his Thieves where Karmel played her bit
The camels in Arabian Knights each played a different part
So all of them could end up stars - my goodness - what a start

Says Tam tae Wull - let's cut this crap - the local wurds are fine
Sure we don't want to have a local camel pantomime
Can you see 7 camels up on stage, hotels and bars
And us becoming agents for the 7 superstars?

So let's get back tae local wurds like "skelly" or a "neb"
Ough this just means "tae hae a luk" then quickly stare ahead
And if a "drooth is on yae" you're mair thirsty than you think
But "suckin diesel" DOESN'T MEAN an alcoholic drink

Say "Slainte" or say "Cheers" when you've been given something nice
NO "effin and a-blindin" that's a very naughty vice
That's only for "big hallions" - not so nice types on the street
Sure you could end up "banjaxed" - end up "arseways aff yur feet”

"Enough's enough" said Cyril, Claude and Cedric in one voice
We cannae just learn all yur words - of that we have no choice
So what about a break and take us on down into Larne
We'll try "new wurds" - meet locals - hae a jolly hearty yarn 😜.

(By Hugh Black)

To be continued ……. 🐫🐪🐫
Watch out for Camel Chronicle 15 coming your way next Saturday at noon. 😂

FROM FURY TO CALM - Pans Rock, Ballycastle

What a difference a few days makes.

You might remember Joe Brogan’s photos from earlier this week of Pans Rock Pier at Ballycastle taking an absolute battering in the storm - white water crashing right over it.

Well, Joe was back at the very same spot this evening and sent us this. The storm has passed, the sea is calm, and the sky turned the most incredible red, reflecting perfectly across Ballycastle Bay.

Same place, two completely different moods. That's the North Coast for you.

Stunning capture again Joe, thank you for sharing.
