Dingle Bay from Mountain Stage

The mountains of South Kerry are covered with a bit of snow. A great reason to go for a drive and take some photos. I took the road from Waterville to Glencar over the Ballaghisheen pass.
From Glencar I drove towards Lough Acoose and back to Blackwater Bridge and Caragh Lake. I left the lake road for Treanmanagh and back to the N70 for my way home.

Lough Acoose, Glencar, County Kerry












Lough Acoose is situated between the MacGillycuddy Reeks and Glencar. I had a nice walk there about a week ago with Frank from Dublin. You can actually do a kind of loop walk to go to Carrauntuohill Mountain (1039mtrs) Irelands highest mountain and Beenkeragh (1010mtrs).
I turned some photos in to black&white and left the sunset photos in colour. Here is a link to a B&B and more information about the walks.

Thanks Frank for great company and petrol!

My August 2010 Photography Holiday Week in South Kerry

Photographers from Sweden, Switzerland and the USA came to take part in my August Photo Holiday and we were really blessed with the weather and all the great photo opportunities here in Kerry. (By the way, Per and Annette were here for the second time, I think they have caught the Ireland bug like myself...)
The week was full of action, starting with a trip to Skellig Michael, photo shoots on Valentia Island, in the mountains around Glencar, at Puck Fair in Killorglin, Derrynane, Cahirsiveen and much more...
We ´ll see some of the participants´ photos as well, I hope,
and I must say I really enjoyed the week and your enthusiasm for photography...
