Dingle’s Gentle Sentinel

Many years ago while travelling on the Dingle Peninsula we came across a donkey in a field in MuirĂ­och. I posted a photo of him in 2007 and again in 2008 but I happened to come across this photo of him and did a little work on the photo.

There’s a chance this donkey is still alive. Hopefully he’s well cared for and enjoying his elder years.

Eggs for Sale

A visit to the market in Skibbereen in 2019 was productive. I’ve posted a number of photos from that hour or so on here over the years, and there are still a few more to go.

August 2019 feels like a lifetime ago.

Rural Banter in Cork

Tucked away on the serene Sherkin Island in County Cork, I stumbled upon a timeless moment that felt plucked from another era. Two older men, clearly no strangers to the soil beneath them, were deep in conversation.

This photo was taken in 2015 while on a visit to the island. I hope they are still living on the island, chatting away.
