This picture, taken by Jim Riding*, shows the church on the summit of Croagh Patrick, with a fine view of Clare Island and the outer end of Clew Bay.

*Jim Riding visits Louisburgh and Roonagh every year. A keen sea angler, he is married to Clare, who is a daughter of Jimmy Gibbons of Leeds. Jimmy's father, Anthony, and mother, Bridie, were both born and reared in Roonagh. Many thanks to Jim for sending us this picture.
