Killarney’s Crystal Water

Last October when Blarney Photography Club visited Killarney to photograph the rutting season this year, we took a break from the deer and some of us went to O’Sullivan’s Cascade. This is the Lakes of Killarney as seen from where that waterfall flows into the lake.

It was a beautiful clear day. The sky might have been a little boring for photography but I loved what I saw there. Especially when I saw how the sunlight caught a rock in the water. The hills in the background disappear into the distance like a painting. Quite a remarkable day.

Coastal Adventure in West Cork

Just a few months shy of ten years ago, we’d visited Sherkin Island and as we were leaving I spotted a man on a RIB talking to two others on their dingy. It was a lovely warm August day, just before school was about to start again.

In the background is the famous Baltimore Beacon, built in 1849 as a navigation guide.
