A stag and his grass
A stag buries his head in grass, to decorate his antlers and make himself more attractive to female deer. Killarney National Park, October 2023.
Castlerosse Park Resort Cottage
Situated at the edge of the woods behind the Castlerosse Park Resort golf course is this small cottage. We walked by it a few weeks ago when we were in the area to photograph the rutting. There was a car parked directly outside, so it’s occupied, but it’s so solitary and in a secluded area,…
To be a stag in October
We went to Killarney National Park this morning to photograph the annual rutting. This is when stags come down from the mountain and look for romance and court any nearby female deer. And they’re quite vocal about it. This particular guy was on one side of the tarmac path occupied by us human photographers, and…
Red Clouds at Sunset
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.

The cars of Inch Beach
Just some of the vehicles parked on Inch Beach the other day. Adventurous folk!
Narrator: vehicles weren’t removed
It’s good to see a warning for motorists who park on Inch Beach in Co. Kerry. High tide was at 5:15pm yesterday, and motorists were urged to remove their vehicles “in GOOD TIME”. We parked in the car park and left at 5:42pm, but there were still a few hardy souls on the beach with…
Hussey’s Folly overlooking Dingle Harbour
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…
The Hills off Inch Beach
Off Inch Beach in Co Kerry, in August 2015. A lovely sunset casts a glow on the hills opposite. A slow, long exposure blends the waves together.
Shadows and Sun
We were walking out towards Hussey’s Folly outside Dingle when I looked across Dingle Harbour and saw the sunlight travel across the opposite headland as clouds moved away. I love seeing light and shadow on a landscape so I grabbed a few quick shots.
A Wine Strand Sunset
The road to the end of the headland by Wine Strand in Co. Kerry curves off into the distance. Parked vehicles are parked there as people enjoy the evening.
Off the horse
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.
