The Lartigue railway ran the 10 miles form Listowel to Ballybunion in Co. Kerry, Ireland. It was a monorail system that much has been written about on the internet. This shot shows the last remaining bridge over what was part of the Lartigue Railway line. /

The Gap of Dunloe (County Kerry, Ireland) is one of the most beautiful glaciated valleys in the world. Beginning at Kate Kearneys cottage it extends for 7 miles with the Macgillycuddy reeks mountain range on one side and the Purple mountains on the other. There are 5 small beautiful lakes along the route of the Gap and an old arch bridge called the ‘Wishing Bridge’ Please visit my website at Beautiful Photos of Ireland

BEST VIEWED AS A MEDIUM SIZED FRAMED PRINT ON YOUR SITTING ROOM WALL! Drifting all alone on a vast ocean with just myself for company! This is a shot of a cargo vessel heading out from the mouth of the River Shannon across Ballybunion Bay in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The shot was taken with a telephoto lens from Knockanore Mountain (really a large hill) some two miles from shore as the préachán flies. / /

This church in Doon, Ballybunion closed it’s doors to its congregation a few short years after the new, St John’s, church opened in the town centre on 1st August, 1897. The parish could not afford to keep two churches going. / Doon church is used these days as a storage building for farm equipment.

This beautiful waterfall is located about 7km outside Killarney on the Kenmare road. It is well signposted and is just a short walk from the carpark through a forest. The roar of the falls can be heard long before you see them. The water source for the falls is the “Devil’s Punch Bowl” corrie lake near the summit of nearby Mangerton mountain. The waterfall is 70 ft in height and flows into Muckross Lake. The scenic small bridge in this photo is a short walk above the waterfall Please visit my website at Beautiful Photos of Ireland

The setting sun picked out the Autumn colours along the pathway through the trees leading to the edge of one of the beautiful lakes of Killarney, Co. Kerry, Ireland. / / The Lakes of Killarney have many legends and stories of magic and mystery attached to them. The Tuatha de Danaan or the Tribes of the Goddess Danu are thought to have been a sea-faring race called Pelasgians that lived near the Aegean Sea. The Danaans were a magical race, and possessed the knowledge of blacksmithing. They came to the British Isles after they were driven from their homes by invaders from the northeast and southeast. / According to the Book of Invasions, the Tuatha de Danaans were driven northward from Greece as a result of invasion from Syria, and eventually reached Ireland by way of Denmark, to which they gave their own name, Kingdom of the Danaans and North Britain. The date of their arrival in Britain is recorded as 1472 BC. According to Herodotus in History, the Syrian invasion of Greece may be the capture by Phoenicians of the Danaan shrine of the White Goddess Io at Argos, then the religious capitol of the Peloponnese. The Cretans colonized it in 1750 BC. Herodotus does not date the event except that it happened before the Argo expedition to Colchis, which the Greeks dated 1225 BC and before Europa went from Phoenicia to Crete, a tribal emigration, which probably took place some centuries earlier before the sack of Cnossos in 1400 BC. / According to legend, when the Danaans landed in Ireland, they arrived from the sky on a ship of dark clouds on the eve of Beltaine. The Tuatha de Danaans brought with them the stone of destiny called Lia Fail, which was placed on Tara and used to choose the rightful kings of Ireland. They also brought the spear of Lugh, which made whoever wielded it victorious in battle. The third gift they brought was The Sword of Nuada or the Sword of Light, which none could escape from. There was a fourth gift, the Cauldron of the Dagda, which would always be filled with food so that none would starve. / They had to fight the Firbolgs, which they defeated on the hill of Moytura, but the Danaan king, Nuada, lost his hand in this battle. Then, they had to fight the Formorians, a race of ugly giants. The Danaans won the fight with the help of their champion, Lugh, and the Formorians were sent to live under the sea. / 200 years after arrival of the Danaans in Ireland, people sailing from Thrace through the / Mediterranean and out into the Atlantic, landed in Wexford Bay where they came into conflict with the Danaans, but were persuaded to pass out into Northern Britain, then called Albany. They were known as Picts, or Painted Ones. / The Milesians arrived soon after. Instead of fighting the Milesians, the Danaans chose to retreat into the hills and mounds, living in raths that were invisible to humans. Because of this, they were referred to as “Aes Sidhe,” which means the people of the sidhe. The Danaans became the faery folk of Ireland, also called ‘the gentry,’ ‘the grey ones’ or ‘the others.’ They are not tiny faeries but are of normal height and shapeshifters. They are the spirits of the wood, river, and mounds. They are immortals and the only thing that can harm them is iron. The fact that only iron can harm theTuatha de Danaans my have a deeper meaning. It is possible that the Danaans were a Bronze Age race that was defeated by an Iron Age race, the Milesians. / http://www.kelleyheckart.com/Tuatha_de_Danaan.html

After driving up through the mountains of Killarney, this wonderful view (Ladies View) can be seen looking down into the valley where some of the lakes can be seen nestled in amongst the mountains. Once part of the enormous Herbert estate at Muckross, the road to this scenic vista was improved in honor of Queen Victoria’s visit in 1861. The panorama inspired such awe and gasps of admiration from the Queen’s ladies in waiting that it was dubbed “Ladies’ View.” From this point, the Upper Lake, Middle Lake, Black Valley, MacGillycuddy Reeks, and Gap of Dunloe are clearly visible. http://www.redbubble.com/products/configure/6554993

Featured in Heritage in Stone 6th Nov, 2008. / Featured in Ireland 8th Nov, 2008. / Carrigafoyle Castle – built by Conor Liath O’Connor-Kerry in the 1490s, and considered one of the strongest of Irish fortresses – was a large tower house, of the type particularly common across the north of the province of Munster. It stood on a rock in a small bay off the Shannon estuary, and its name is an anglicisation of the Irish, Carraig an Phoill (“rock of the hole”). The castle was referred to as the guardian of the Shannon, because of its strategic command of the shipping lanes that supplied the trading city of Limerick, some 20 miles (32 km) upriver. The bay at Carrigafoyle was shielded from the estuary on the northern side by a wooded island. Within the bay, the castle-rock was defended on the west and south sides by a double defensive wall: the inner wall enclosed a bawn, and surrounding this was a moat, which was covered on three sides (the east lay open) by the outer wall, where a smaller tower stood. The tower-keep itself was 86 ft high, and the precipitous sides of the castle-rock were layered with bricks and mortar. At high tide, the walled landing within the moat was capable of accommodating a ship of 100 tons displacement. Wikipedia

Carrigafoyle Castle, County Kerry, Listowel Heritage Town. / Carrigafoyle was wrecked by a series of bloody sieges, but remains a remarkable castle. Located between the high- and low-water marks on the shore of the Shannon Estuary, it comprises a large tower built towards the end of the fifteenth century by the O’Connors of Kerry. The tower was protected on the landward side by two square bawns, an inner one with rounded turrets and an outer with square towers at the corners. The tower has five storeys rising to a height of 86 feet and is beautifully constructed of specially selected small stones laid in neat courses. Each floor has an oblong chamber with a small room and spiral stair in the wall thickness at the seaward end. Among State Papers in London there is a plan of the castle dated April 1580 and a letter to Queen Elizabeth from Lord Justice Sir William Pelham. The previous month Pelham had besieged the castle, then held for the Earl of Desmond by an Italian engineer, Captain Julian, with fifty Irish men and sixteen Spaniards. Pelham used artillery brought by sea and within two days had battered down the bawn and the western landward side of the castle. All the surviving members of the garrison were hung and the Earl of Desmond’s plate, stored in the castle, was sent to the Queen. The castle was later recovered by the O’Connors, only to be surrendered again to the Lord Deputy, Sir George Carew, in 1600. It had a garrison of forty men in 1659 to protect the south shore of the Shannon. Despite its wrecked condition the castle was occupied in the last century by a Dr Fitzmaurice and his family. Located 2 miles N of Ballylongford it is accessible from the road across a raised path of stones liable to be submerged at high tides. Source Irelandseye.com Canon EOS 400D 18-55mm lens

Lislaughtin Abbey sits in an inlet of the Shannon estuary in North Kerry, Southern Ireland, historically O’Connor country. construction began in 1464, thirteen years later it was dedicated by indult of Pope Sixtus IV. In 1580 English forces moved vengefully through this area and laid siege to Carrigafoyle Castle close by, killing the defenders. They then went to Lislaughtin and all but 3 of the priests fled. Three elderly priests took refuge in the sanctuary of the Abbey. They were killed by the English soldiers and the Abbey was looted. The plaque outside the Abbey recalls the martyrdom of these men and records their names – Philip O’Shea, Maurice O’Scanlon and Donagh O’Hanrahan.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Patchwork Fields Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland. ================================================ / Featured in the Top 10 of Country_Roads Challenge Show_Us_Your_Curves – 25th January 2009. ================================================ / There is no other landscape in western Europe with the density and variety of archaeological monuments as the Dingle Peninsula. This mountainous finger of land which juts into the Atlantic Ocean has supported various tribes and populations for almost 6,000 years. Because of the peninsula’s remote location, and lack of specialised agriculture, there is a remarkable preservation of over 2,000 monuments. The Dingle Peninsula’s isolated location on the edge of the known world was possibly the reason that such a concentration of Early Christian monastic sites were founded there. Today there are over 30 monastic sites with a variety of remains such as oratories, cross slabs, holy wells, beehive huts, shrines, burials, sun dials, and enclosing features. Canon EOS 350D SLR
