Images of Ireland

Dingle Peninsula "painting."

This is the result of an experiment I did in exploring the outer limits of Photoshopping some of my favorite Ireland images. If this reminds you of Van Gogh that might be more than coincidence. It is actually a photo on the Dingle Peninsula near Camp.

A sunset over 3 Aran islands - taken from Inisheer

I wanted to stay the night in Inisheer just for the chance of taking this picture. It turns out that there were many other good reasons to stay in Inisheer. We hadn't been to the Aran islands since the 1970s, and I find the look of the place just stunningly otherworldly.

Yeats' Tower

South of Galway. This is in an area of farming and not much else. You really have to have a good idea where it is, because it is not well marked. However, when you round the corner and see this, it is an absolutely awe-inspiring sight.

Walking down the path from the oratory, I was taken with the sheer beauty of the Dingle Peninsula countryside.

We first visited Ireland in 1976 for a week when we were in Britain. Our English friends lined us up a tour designed for British people - an unbelievable bargain. This included daily bus tours of uneven quality. This was the tour that went the furthest North. It also included Westport.

Gate at Cahirciveen

noreply@blogger.com (Terry) — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 12:11:00 +0000

We made two trips to Cahirciveen because it was the locale for one of the most well-preserved workhouses from the Famine-era. The librarian at the public library, Ms. O'Sullivan managed to secure a promise from the farmer who owned the property that we could enter the gate if we did not try to go inside the workhouse (dangerous).

Morning light near Tralee

One morning we were driving from Tralee to Fenit, leisurely following the water, and found this quiet spot.

One imagines that there is a story behind this.

Happy sheep

Friends thought that I had altered this picture to make it look like the sheep was smiling. In actual fact, he really was that happy.
