Black and Blue

A striking blue wall on Dykegate Street caught my eye, especially in the bright sunlight that cast a stark shadow across it.

Dingle is located in the heart of the Kerry Gaeltacht, one of Ireland’s officially designated Irish-speaking regions where Irish is the community language. The bilingual street signs throughout the town reflect this status, with the Irish name “Sráid an Daighide” appearing first, followed by the English “Dykegate Street.” The tradition of painting houses in bright colours in Dingle dates back centuries and was originally practical – helping fishermen identify their homes from the sea. Today, these colourful buildings have become one of Dingle’s most distinctive features, with strict planning guidelines ensuring that the tradition continues while maintaining the town’s unique character.

Youghal’s Charming Beach Huts

I had no idea these beach huts were in Youghal until about a week ago, but I just love the colour and shape of each one.
