Landscape photograph of An Fear Marbh (The Dead Man) rock formation viewed from the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland in December 2025. The distinctive island lies in the grey Atlantic waters, its silhouette resembling a human figure lying on their back. In the foreground, green and brown grass slopes down towards dark slate cliffs that drop to the sea. A rustic wooden post and wire fence runs along the hillside. To the left, a dark rocky headland frames the view, while smaller sea rocks break the surface of the calm water. The Blasket Islands are visible in the misty distance under an overcast grey sky. The scene is rendered in muted tones of grey, green and brown.
