A Stag and his hinds

I visited the National Park in Killarney, Co Kerry, today to photograph the deer with other members of Blarney Photography Club, and a few friends.

There weren’t many stags or deer to be seen, apart from in a field up a hill beyond the Castlerosse Park Resort golf course. We found this stag near the Torc Waterfall side of Muckross House. No other stags nearby, they were all calm and relaxed. I think the stag was slightly worried about the silly humans pointing long lenses at him from some 300m away. He needn’t have worried.

The Deer of the Rut

A stag looks towards me. One of his eyes is weeping and injured. He has grass in his antlers.

A few photos of the deer in Killarney National Park a year ago when I visited there with Blarney Photography Club. These have been sitting in my “Unpublished” collection since then, so I might as well make them public.

Heavy Seas on Dingle Streets

A man carries a painting of the sea with visible waves crossing the water. He's walking along a road in Dingle while people walk towards him.

Luckily, you’re unlikely to get sea sick just walking along the street in Dingle, even when someone walks past with a gorgeous photo of the sea.

Swirling at Light Speed

A ride at the funfair in Dingle swirls around at speed. A long exposure photo captures the movement of a long moment, not an instant of time.

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. 🙁

Another lap at the races

Sunrise by the Brickeen Bridge

Reeds in the foreground, then water and far away hills are coloured yellow by the rising sun behind clouds in the sky.

On a trip with Blarney Photography Club to the Lakes of Killarney a year ago, we photographed the water as the sun rose over the mountains in the distance.

Alone in the crowd

Hussey’s Folly and the green fields

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.
