The Dingle Peninsula

The Dingle Peninsula...

Dingle was definitely one of my favorite places of the trip. The town was quaint, the place we stayed was wonderful, the food was good and the Irish music in the pub was terrific!

We spent the day in Dingle, driving the Dingle Peninsula route (Slea Head Drive), stopping for plenty of pictures. The coastline was spectacular. Unfortunately, as with most of the days, it was cloudy and a bit rainy, so the visibility was a wee bit limited. It just means another trip in nicer weather might be necessary! Dingle is definitely a place that I could easily return to.

The beach, at the beginning of the drive	Gaelic writing on a Catholic Church. I think that I assumed that Irish people primarily spoke English, just with a funny accent. I didn't realize how prevalent 'Irish' or Gaelic, would be.	Inside the Catholic Church
Random, cool shot of two women crossing the road.	More Gaelic writing	A cemetery we happened upon
		I love taking pictures of fences and boundaries. This one was particularly interesting to me, as the boundary between the 'life' of the green field and the death in the cemetery.
		I also love shooting windows and this one I thought was particularly photogenic

An abandoned stone house		This is a picture of Jerry rushing to put the fence back up, after he had tried to enter this field to take 'the perfect picture.' The only catch was that the sheep heard him and decided he was there to let them all out of the cage!
The sheep, ready to leave. We were a bit worried that we might look behind us on the road and see that the sheep had managed to escape, but luckily no roadside sheep sightings!	On location with National Geographic...
More fences and cliffs		Self-timer, from the car door...
There were stone walls everywhere, dividing up the fields.		We also happened upon this beautiful beach.
