Lough Graney
I had assumed that this sandy 'beach' on Lough Graney was artifical, but later on, while exploring the Bleach River (that drains into the lake), the same coarse sand was in evidence. So mabye it's natural. Notice how the water level is still quite low. The colouring is definitely artifical, and hopefully, is only a small spill from the machines escavating a new walkway round the lake.

The beach has always looked natural to me on our visits over the years, but the new path around the lake makes me shudder. There was a beautiful mixed marsh flora (including plants like bur marigold, marsh cinquefoil & blue-eyed grass) which has already been destroyed near the car park. I just hope there is something left worth walking to after the walkway is finished.
