Digging into the archives now, for something green, I'm getting tired of the snow now and want to see some colour. In this scene our tour bus drove along the south-western coastal area of Ireland going from Ennis to Killarney, we stopped here to take a few photographs. The weather was perfect and this scene is very typical of the barren treeless headlands jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean in this part of Ireland. A very pleasant, calm and beautiful spot.

There is a song, Irish song, not too clear in my head but, as I see this, I can't stop thinking of "Where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea". Do you know that one? Maybe this isn't Mourne, but it fits. Truth be told, I have no idea where Mourne is!
Pleasant enough scene, if lacking a little 'poke-in-the-eyes' impact, but must be a relief in your imagination considering your current conditions. I want to see cows and sheep and tractors running all over the place and seagulls dive-bombing you and a sailboat sinking just off the rocks and a boat-load of pirates landing on the beach ... but I'm not going to get that. Settle for the reality and 6.74/10. Much better than 'Soylent Green'. ???

Oops Joan, I've seen better pictures of your hand ! The shadows are so strong, I believe an emboss-filter played a role here. And the cliffs have an awful purple cover. But I can understand the sentiments you have for the place. The ring of Kerry is sheer magic and I hold nice memories and pictures of the day I passed through (even had lunch in Carhirciveen I remember). Since they were from before my "digital" days, I can perhaps look them up and scan them in.
Kind regards
