One of two guys Surfing  Com Dhíneol beach on Slea Head – outside Dingle. He’s nearly as good as me! 😉 (I wish)

The morning sun burns though the last of the fog in Dingle Bay.

There is a natural (?) vignette in this shot – probably something to do with the fact that I was shooting in the general direction of the sun (just made that part up). But it’s not something I normally encounter with my kit lens. It really stands out after the post processing. Any recommendations?

This poser just lay there taking in all the attention. Not one bit scared of me.

An unusual looking Thistle (as in it’s not the type you normally see around here). Taken in Castlegregory, Co. Kerry.

My lovely horse running through the field,
Where are you going with your fetlocks blowing in the wind?
I want to shower you with sugarlumps,
And ride you over fences,
Polish your hooves every single day,
And bring you to the horse dentist,

My lovely horse,
You’re a pony no more,
Running around with a man on your back,
Like a train in the night,
Like a train in the night.

For anyone that doesn’t know what this is about… it’s from Fr. Ted – a comedy series that was on TV a few years back.

Kevin was going to beautiful Inch Beach in Co. Kerry today and was kind enough to let me tag along (Thanks Kev!). Great evening for taking a few photos. Unfortunately I discovered exactly how dirty the sensor in my camera is and this is the only shot of use – a rock pool at one end of the beach. When I say rock pool, I actually mean puddle. I thought the colours were nice and I liked the textures and details in the rocks. On the down side, it’s nearly impossible to tell what the image is unless you’ve been told – it may have to be filed under “A” for Abstract.

On a side note, I’ve been finding it very difficult to take the general recession related misery that seems to be getting everyone down these days – especially since coming home from Australia. I don’t listen to the news any more – ignorance is bliss. For anyone that is bored, broke, depressed, furious with government/bankers…. just go to the beach the next fine day, relax (there’s not a lot you can do about the situation anyway) and ignore it all. It won’t cost a penny.
