Silk and Stone at Couminole
Waves crash on the rocks at Couminole, Co Kerry but are made misty by a long exposure photo.
The Dead Man Sleeps
An Fear Marbh as seen from the nearby Dingle Peninsula on a cold December afternoon.
The Three Sisters at Twilight
The Three Sisters on the Dingle Peninsula in Co. Kerry. The sun had just sunk below the horizon and beyond a cloud bank at the horizon but the sky was still glowing a lovely soft yellow glow.
Screebe Fishing Hut at Sunset
My first time visiting the famous fishing hut at Screebe in Connemara was last night, when we were blessed with an evening without even a breeze to disturb the water. Unfortunately, there was an excess of low cloud, with a cloud bank at the horizon that swallowed the sun at the horizon behind the house,…
Where Water Meets Light
The sun had set behind the distant hills and the exposure times went up when I took this photo, but that’s what I wanted as the sea was rough and I wanted to make it silky smooth and misty at Owenahincha Beach last August.
A Storm Gathering Over Kerry’s Fear Marbh
Storm clouds gathered on an August evening on the Dingle Peninsula. I was hoping for a nice sunset, and the sun briefly appeared, but this was a few minutes later. Strong winds started to blow and I had to hold on to my tripod to stop the camera from shaking and potentially falling over!
Dunquin’s Dramatic Edge
Dunquin Harbour is mostly photographed from the cliffs above because there is a narrow winding path that descends on a steep trajectory to sea level.

An Fear Marbh at Sunset
It looked like there wouldn’t be any sunset, but I was down at the bottom of Dunquin Pier when I saw an orange glow coming from behind the large rock blocking my view of the sun that had just set. If you know how steep that path down to the pier is, I hope you’ll…
Fire in the Sky at Sunset
The sun sets behind a hill on the Dingle Peninsula, Kerry, back in 2021.
The Wild Beauty of Coumeenoole Beach
Coumeenoole Beach at the end of the Dingle Peninsula is a favourite spot on a drive around that headland. It’s dangerous to swim there, but it’s such a picturesque area we always end up there every time we visit the area. Coumeenoole Beach gained international fame after being featured in the 1970 film “Ryan’s Daughter,”…
A path through the woods
Along a path to the summit of Knockomagh Woods in Co Cork.
The Barren Gap of Dunloe
The Gap of Dunloe in Co Kerry in February 2007. I was up there recently and it couldn’t have been more different. A storm blew down the valley making life miserable for anyone walking the roads or trying to take photos of this scenic area.
