I was there too
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. 🙁

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.

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 times.
