From the fox hunt in Cork to, what I suspect is out forring, salmon fishing in Lalholm wherever that might be? The sheer cliff with the ropes running down to it reminds me somewhat of Carrick a Rede in Antrim where the locals made amazing adaptations in order to get down to the sea to capture salmon as they ran past that coast!

Guessing the Isle of Man. We have had a few with similar borders from there ...

Could be Laholmen, Strömstad IMO. See panorama photo by Roger Fiksdal: goo.gl/maps/G2kGSgf1HUprgdEo6

Lalholm seems to be an old name for Laholmen, see 'Naval wars in the Baltic', by R.C. Anderson, 1910, p. 182 & 183 books.google.com/books?id=XHEQAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA183&l...

How it worked in Norway ... "High above the Bolstad Fjord, perched on a scaffold set into the cliff-top hut, Helge Furnes watched with the intensity of an osprey for a monstrous salmon to enter his trap of netting laid out on the river bottom. A pair of heavy stones, connected to the net by a system of ropes and pulleys, was hoisted up to the bottom of the hut. Once the fish entered the trap, Furnes yanked the end of the rope, setting off a chain reaction: The stones dropped towards the ground, their falling weight pulled up the lines tied to the corners of the net, and the trap closed, capturing the fish within. ... ..." From - www.earthisland.org/journal/index.php/articles/entry/fall... Not perhaps this photo's location, but similar contraptions are still seen at Bolstad Fjord as described in the above article - goo.gl/maps/GN9Cy82T1BeiaMss8

How about this streetview near Balholm / Balestrand, Norway? NB the distant topography and shapes of the hills, and a convenient wooden 'thing' in the foreground, showing that it is a fishing spot - goo.gl/maps/vxocpQJUYvKGzMxC6

Probably a bit of a stretch, but couldn't resist: "Ah lovely Lealholm! Where shall I begin. To say what thou art now and once hast been?" -Castillo

I am still voting for Balholm, Norway! Here is a slightly revised google maps reference, near a ferry terminal, with steep rocks and signs of old habitation on the right side, with the distant mountains and that distinctive flat ridge ... goo.gl/maps/GmSTX1Y38BHfh1Vr8 Sometimes Flickr is amazing!
