Gallarus Oratory
The Gallarus Oratory is a predecessor of our churches (I guess the terminus “oratory” is used because of the uncertainty about the consecratedness of the building), built only from stones roughly 1000 years ago. Astonishing enough, it survived this time intact and still waterproof, built from nothing but pure stone.
Slea Head in Rain
Just turning around from last post’s calvary group offered that panoramic view in low hanging clouds and Irish rain. The image was stitched with the free software hugin from four frames, each taken with the 40mm-e lens.
Roadside Calvaire, Bikers
Found on the road to Slea Head, such crucifixion groups are not rare in Ireland, reminding you that this is a thoroughly Catholic country. The bikers did not seem to be overly impressed.
September Wallpapers
Pre/post-rain Irish melancholy, matching the slow end of summer. Astonishing enough, 17° C felt much warmer in Ireland than they do here, even without Guiness or Whisky.
Irish Pub, Heineken Golf Ad And A Joke
And here’s the matching joke for Ireland and Golf: BMW thinks of everything…. Have fun! I am on my way home again, in a noisy Dublin Airport cafe.

Burial Ground In The Gaelthacht
Kilmalkedar, Kerry, (osm) The Dingle Peninsula is a stronghold of the Gaelic language in Ireland, where courses are offered to the native and non-native speakers to develop their skills. And here on the graveyard, not only the old inscriptions on the headstones are in Gaelic, but also some of the youngers.
Back Road With Lilies
Dingle Peninsula, (osm) Demanding for the driver these back roads certainly are, especially when the driver is not used to left side driving. I can’t count the times any more when I tried to find the gear shift with my right hand, tried to open the safety belt with the wrong hand or killed the…
The Connemara Kitchen Sink Surf Station
The best position for wireless LAN, at least late in the evening, when I don’t want to leave the cottage any more (and during the day there’s excursion, family, errands etc.)
Dubai Day
Slea Head, Dingle, (osm) A very friendly Irish lady told me that she used the expression “Dubai Day” for a day as warm as that one: At least one of her kids worked in Dubai, “where they never cared about the weather”, and blue sky and warm sunlight was the norm. In Ireland it’s definitely…
Dingle Hydrant
, Dingle, (osm) Just a short update from my Ireland trip: I spent a wonderful first week with all kinds of Irish weather (including a Dubai day, more on it tomorrow), but without internet access. What a country!
