Utterly Nutterly
For anyone along the Salthill prom yesterday watching the airshow, it was a long time to sit in the sun peering skywards. And after an hour or so, minds and bodies began to wander along the shore. The Utterly Butterly flight display consisted of two biplanes, each with a (clearly certifiable) acrobat wired into a small harness above the wing (they are officially known as wingwalkers, which clearly sounds far more sane).
For 20 minutes or so, the two ladies strapped to the wings performed their routine at 150 mph up and down the shoreline. And in all that time, the couple in the bottom right of the picture were focused only on the creepy-crawlies, shells and other little beasties that get stuck in rock pools when the tide sneaks out without telling anyone. For all the attractions in the air, it's hard to beat mooching along the waterline on a hazy Summer day in Galway...
