The sky just got darker and darker as the sun slipped further around the Earth. The low…
Low Cloud Over Dingle
Low clouds lay over Dingle town on Friday evening but while it wasn’t the most exciting light, it had a lovely even light without deep shadows. It was a quiet evening with only a few people out walking their dogs and even a couple of tourists!
Dingle’s Dykegate Street Mural

Hussey’s Folly caught in the light
Hussey’s Folly at the mouth of Dingle Harbour as it was caught by the rays of the sun. This was almost exactly four years ago, at the height of the Covid pandemic. Apparently, Covid levels are just as high now and the latest strain is quite nasty too. It will always be with us. 🙁
