Off the horse

A rider rolls on the ground after coming off his horse at the Dingle Races last year. Another horse and rider and the fallen rider's horse continue running

A young rider came off his horse during a race at the Dingle Races last August. His horse continued on, but the unlucky rider had to get out of the way of other horses.

The winds blows softly

Clouds blur with movement, and grass bends against the wind in a long exposure photo at a beach in Kerry. Rocks in the foreground, Grass on a hill, with a broken fence on top, and the cloudy sky above.

On a lovely evening in August last year I was walking along a beach with my wife. The sun was getting low in the sky casting a faintly yellow glow over the world.

This long exposure shot captures the movement of cloud, and the wind blown grass. Even though there wasn’t much wind, it’s all relative when the photo is 13 seconds long.

Psst. Don’t tell anyone, but there’s a really nice beach around the corner from Wine Strand!

An Fear Marbh at Sunset

The island known as "An Fear Marbh" or "Inis Tuaisceart" lies off the coast of Kerry. The sun is setting, casting a lovely glow over everything.

On a lovely summer’s evening on the Dingle Peninsula I photographed An Fear Marbh, yet again. It’s a picturesque part of the country so you can hardly blame me for taking photos! 🙂

Today I learned that, in English, it’s called Inishtooskert, which is an Anglicised version of the Irish name, “Inis Tuaisceart”, or “Northern Island”.

An evening above Dunquin Pier

An evening above Dunquin Pier

Dunquin Pier at the end of the Dingle Peninsula sits below a steep grassy cliff. Last year I saw three teenage girls sitting on the edge of the cliff you can see in this photo. I got dizzy just looking at them but they weren’t in (much) danger. There’s a step below where many feet have worn away the grass.

Kian McNally wins at the Dingle Races on August 6th, 2022. Well done on your success, Kian!

They published a few videos of Kian after the race. In this one you can just about see me behind my camera two to three seconds into the video. Here’s an interview with him.
