The Old Weir Bridge in Killarney
The Old Weir Bridge is a picturesque bridge over a small river near the Lakes of Killarney in Ireland. The bridge is an old stone structure with arched openings, and it looks particularly beautiful against the natural backdrop of the river and trees. The trees on both sides of the river are mostly bare, which…
A stag in the rain
A stag in the field opposite Muckross House in Killarney on a very wet October afternoon this year. I was there with Blarney Photography Club and after a not so successful morning we retreated to the café in Muckross Garden Restaurant for lunch. It was still raining afterwards, but some of us stopped outside to…
The Hills of Killarney
In between heavy showers, the far away hills visible from Killarney National Park are lovely shades of grey.
Killarney Dipper
A Dipper we spotted in the Killarney recently. He stayed on that rock for a few minutes, letting us take photos of him at our leisure!

Silhouettes of the Walkers
Walkers in Killarney National Park a week ago when I was there trying to photograph the stags. A huge group of people out on a Saturday morning when a storm passed overhead and thunder and lightning filled the air. A few of us from Blarney Photography Club braved the elements for our photography!
The Gang is Watching
A gang of Kerry cattle observe me and a group of humans as we walk past their field. Fun fact – they are “believed to be one of the oldest breeds in Europe” according to Wikipedia. 🙂
The Devil’s Coach Horse

Waiting for the sunrise, Muckross Lake. Killarney.
Sunrise over Muckross Lake
An early morning drive to the Lakes of Killarney this morning resulted in an eventful trip for Blarney Photography Club today. Rain didn’t spoil the sunrise, but a trip afterwards to the Gap of Dunloe didn’t go so well with a literal storm blowing up between the hills. The photo above is from Dinis Cottage…
