Dingle Harbour

So having driven across Brandon Mountain via Conor Pass I drove into Dingle.  It's a quaint town and there was a nice market going on I remember buying some nice cakes and other tasty treats for lunch.  In the town itself I bought some little gifts for friends.  

The area is famous for a dolphin called Funghi that often can be seen in the harbour and there are boat trips to see dolphins and whales along the coast but I didn't go as conditions out at sea were fairly poor although it looked nice and calm in the bay.

After a tour of the town I walked around the harbour so I have chosen a few pictures of the boats and the town from across the harbour.  I have chosen some black and white pictures for today because under the grey skies they look best. I think the third picture is my favourite, let me know which is yours...

Castlegregory, Eire

In 2011 I took a holiday in County Kerry in Ireland, more precisely on the Dingle Peninsula . The weather while we were away was pretty dull for most of the time, but on the one fine day I got these shots near Castlegregory, the first is taken looking towards Camp and Tralee, the second is a view of Brandon Mountain. I had a good time clambering over the rocks and dodging the spray.

The road over the mountain to Dingle on the opposite side of the peninsula was quite a hair raising drive in very poor conditions, not something I would do again except in very good weather.  

Over the next few days I will select a few more pictures from the trip.
