IT WAS ANOTHER week of rain, wind and general misery.

Homes and cars were destroyed, businesses interrupted and everyday life put on hold.

Despite the gloom, many people took the opportunity to capture some of the wonders of nature…or have a bit of fun.

These are some of the best photos and videos sent to TheJournal.ie over the past seven days, many of which we unfortunately didn’t get to publish.
