On the day before the Dingle Races I saw a horse looking out of a horse box. His owner had gone into the nearby petrol station and came back a few minutes later.

It's a return to St. John's Church Ashe Street this Sunday evening for a very special double bill featuring two of the most original female artists in the contemporary music scene, the ethereal Japanese voice artist Hatis Noit and mesmerising Scottish piper Brìghde Chaimbeul.
August 2022 when fuel prices in Ireland were sky-high, and they’re likely to go in that direction again. In that month, a litre of petrol or diesel was €2.059 in Dingle, Co. Kerry.
The price per litre has since dropped to €1.618, or at least it was at the end of April when I last purchased petrol.

On 20th April 1983 Fungie was first spotted in Dingle harbour. Fungie became the most famous dolphin in the world. Nowhere else has a dolphin stayed for so long in the wild while interacting with humans. By 2019, it was estimated that he was at least 40 years of age and Guinness World Records declared him to be the oldest solitary wild dolphin in the world. He was last seen on 13th October 2020.

Cú Roí appears to have been originally a deity transformed into a hero, for he lived in a rotating #Otherworld fortress whose entrance disappeared after sunset. The site is variously locked in the Slieve Mish mountains of Co. #Kerry or at Temair Luachra, an untraceable place that probably refers to Tara in Co. Meath. Within that castle he kept his magical cauldron, so huge that 30 oxen fit inside it. Thus he resembles the fertility deity called the Dagda. Some have found in Cú Roí an ancestral deity of #Munster, others a figure of the sacred king who brings good fortune with an honest reign.

In the middle of February I joined members of Blarney Photography Club for a sunrise photoshoot over the Lakes of Killarney. The scenery was stunning, with early morning light casting a warm orange hue over the still waters of the lake and misty mountains in the distance.
We were over by Brickeen Bridge, a good 30 minute walk from the car park, but worth it for the glow of the sky on the water.

There’s something about a small boat on a calm lake that just begs to be photographed. And when you add in the backdrop of hills shrouded in clouds and the texture of the reeds in the foreground, it becomes a picture-perfect moment.
Capturing that moment, though, can be a challenge. You want to make sure you get just the right angle and lighting to do it justice. But when you finally get that shot, it’s all worth it.
Gallarus Oratory, probably built between the 6th and 13th century AD. It is the best preserved early Christian Church in Ireland. Some believe it could have been a burial place. As with the stone beehive buildings, a corbelling technique has been used to enable the rain to run off.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Lakes of Killarney with Blarney Photography Club and snapped this long exposure photo near Ross Castle. The scene was magical, with the reeds gently swaying in the breeze and the bare trees looking like skeletons on guard.
It was also freezing that February evening, so this is one of the last shots of the day for me. Totally blown out and over exposed, but I love it.

"Caherdaniel Fort" Your evening #painting is from the southwest of #Ireland and a fabulous week I spent in a magical corner of west County #Kerry. For the first few days the house I was staying in was in the clouds, so everywhere I walked, up mountains, and down to the beach, it felt like I was inhaling the views. Indeed, with the back door always open the cloud was in the kitchen so even indoors I was. #Art

An Abstract Forest in Motion
While out with Blarney Photography Club in Killarney National Park recently, we came across a small forest of slender tree trunks stretching up towards the sky like spindly fingers. The light was just perfect for some intentional camera movement, so we decided to experiment with a vertical Intentional Camera Movement (ICM).
Horse and Cart in Motion
As I was strolling through the serene beauty of Killarney National Park, a horse and cart leisurely passed by. I couldn’t resist capturing this moment, and so I snapped a photo of the horse and cart using a slightly longer shutter time.
It's a bit too blurry, but I love the sense of motion in it!

The crow wants your dinner
So, picture this: you’re sitting at a table, about to dive into your delicious dinner and dessert when suddenly, a crow appears out of nowhere and lands right on the table in front of you. And what does it want? Well, the half-eaten remnants of your scrumptious meal, of course!

Skeletal Trees by the Pond
As I walked back from shooting the sunrise at the Lakes of Killarney with members of Blarney Photography Club, I caught sight of something that made me pause. Off to the side of the path, there was a small pond surrounded by a stark scene. The bare trees looked almost skeletal in the early morning light, framing the yellowed grass and adding to the eerie atmosphere.
The Old Weir Bridge is a picturesque bridge over a small river near the Lakes of Killarney in Ireland. The bridge is an old stone structure with arched openings, and it looks particularly beautiful against the natural backdrop of the river and trees.

I love to see bees in my garden and I'm looking forward to their return soon. This is one from last summer. I try to record all the bees in my garden, although I still can't properly identify them. I appreciate any information thanks.
Recent days have seen several out of control gorse fires in this region. Whole mountains have been burnt. Burning gorse is normal farming practice here. I wonder how many bees are destroyed.

For #StandingStoneSunday, this #lichen covered, approximately 2m high sentinel overlooking #ClogherStrand, in the #Dingle Peninsula, County #Kerry, #Ireland. I actually couldn't tell whether this was a truly ancient stone, or whether it had been put there by an enterprising tourist facility owner, as the base around the stone has been reinforced. The view over the #bay to the volcanic headland in the background is spectacular, if you ignore the tearoom nearby!
An Fear Marbh at Sunset
On a lovely summer’s evening on the Dingle Peninsula I photographed An Fear Marbh, yet again. It’s a picturesque part of the country so you can hardly blame me for taking photos! 🙂
Today I learned that, in English, it’s called Inishtooskert, which is an (awful) Anglicised version of the Irish name, “Inis Tuaisceart”, or “Northern Island”.

Waterville, is a village in County Kerry, Ireland, on the Iveragh Peninsula. The town is sited on a narrow isthmus, with Lough Currane on the east side of the town, and Ballinskelligs Bay on the west, and the Currane River connecting the two.
The town's name in Irish Coireán refers to the shape of Ballinskelligs Bay on which the town sits.
