Momentarily alone in a crowd at the Dingle Races a few years ago.

On a lovely evening in August 2020, we were visiting Dingle in Co. Kerry. A walk out to Hussey’s Folly is always on the cards, I think this evening was the last time we saw Fungie too. He was swimming in the bay, just off shore, surrounded by boats, as he always was.

Clouds in the sky are lit up by the sun after it has set. They’re a vivid red thanks to the light travelling through the thick atmosphere just beyond the horizon.

Hussey’s Folly, a small two-storey castle overlooks Dingle Harbour. I couldn’t find much about it online, but I did see that it was built in 1845. It’s now in ruins, with the doorways blocked, but it’s a nice place to visit. Before Fungie disappeared, we went up here to look out for him a few…

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.

On the day before the Dingle Races I saw a horse looking out of a horse box. His owner had gone into the nearby petrol station and came back a few minutes later.

August 2022 when fuel prices in Ireland were sky high, and they’re likely to go in that direction again. In that month, a litre of petrol or diesel was €2.059. The price per litre has since dropped to €1.618, or at least it was at the end of April when I purchased petrol last. Anyway,…

A fantastic night’s sky just after the sun has set in Dingle, Co. Kerry.
