Kerry Mountain walk near Ballaghisheen

Cottage ruin

Bogland every where

Circular polarizer filter for better clouds

Rock face

Cloud shadows shaping the landscape

Carrauntoohill on the left has still a bit of snow

Wide empty vista

Sunday marked the beginning of the summertime 2014. Coming from Ballaghisheen I drove down to the bogland and started my walk towards Toornaneaskagh passing an old farm ruin. Nice warm sunshine, clouds and blue sky every where you looked. Suddenly a strange sound of a bird in the distance.
 Looking up the sky I saw two eagles flying above me.
Otherwise just silence.
 The Macgillycuddy Reeks in the distance had this blue tint that you see in paintings. Not a day for black and white photos.
I used 40, 50 and the 70-200mm lenses for the photos with a circular polarizer filter and a tripod . Here is the GPS location file from my phone 51.96514500,-9.92605833
