Sea Monster

The spider crab is the largest of its sort in Ireland. Its carapace grows up
to six inches (15 cms) while its leg span can reach twenty inches
or 50 cms. But that's nothing compared to the Japanese spider crab
that, claw to claw, measures a mighty twelve foot or 3.8 metres!

Rock Pool

All that separates this Connemara rock pool from the Atlantic Ocean is the boulder it's embedded in. Right now it's peaceful so that the rock can develop a stylish green frame. But that will change with the winter storms.
