On a family holiday in Dingle earlier this year.

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.

We’ve seen a lot of the Ukraine flag in the last few months following the invasion of that country by Russia. Before that I didn’t realise the wall facing the Centra in Dingle had the same colours. Looking the worse for wear and not the right shades of course.

So I said to him, ‘You wouldn’t know one if it swam past right past you!’ Fish gossip in a tank in the Dingle OceanWorld. October 2017.

A very decayed boat on it’s side in Dingle Harbour back in 2010.

If you’ve been to Dingle you’ve probably passed through the village of Lispole. It’s on that long fairly straight road where the speed limit is 60km/h. There are lovely views from the top of the hill overlooking the village and this viaduct sits behind the petrol station at the bottom of the village. I’d seen…

The Star Flyer brings people 40m up before swinging them around. Exciting stuff, but I declined. Bumpers and Waltzers were enough for me. 🙂

Bóthar an Uisce, or River Lane, in Dingle is on a junction with Dykegate Street where my favourite café in the town sits. Thyme Out Café & Delicatessen (Google Maps) is in a lovely old building serving vegetarian and vegan food. Brenda makes an amazing breakfast burrito, and her delux baguette is delicious! Yes, of…

I’m 99% certain I took a photo of this cat a few years ago and published it here but I cannot find it. The original photo was shot as we walked past at night and the cat was asleep in the window, just above the painting on the wall so it’s memorable. If I find…

The Spin City Funfair visits Dingle during the summer months and features the “Star Flyer” where participants are raised about 40m into the air before twirling them around and and around. No way will you get me on something like that! I’ll happily take photos of it though.

Moments after the sun set over the Dingle Peninsula I went for a walk and captured this HDR panorama of Dingle Harbour from the pier there. The sky was mostly clear but there was a well placed cloud sitting just above the hills to catch the light of the already disappeared sun.

The long Summer evenings eventually turn dark, but clear skies remain bright for hours after sunset. Texaco Dingle, where petrol is €1.559/lt.
