Rocks - with Art and without Art and a Sunset

Last Sunday Tech Amergin, Waterville has organised a workshop on Rock Art and Even guided the group after an highly interesting introduction showing Rock Art all over the world to several locations where this carvings can be found on the Iveragh Peninsula. Unfortunately the weather was not very fortunate and some of the objects had even to be inspected in the light of a flashlight. However, using this artificial lighting generated a few quite interesting pictures.
The next day the sun came out and we walked the dog on the very North-Eastern end of Valentia, on the Cliffs underneath the Valentia Radio Station.
The day finally ended with one of those glorious Sunsets which you must photograph, even if you have already loads of similar ones on your harddrive.

Rock Art in Southkerry



The greatest concentration of rock art in the country is located in the townlands of Letter West, Kealduff Upper, and Coomasaharn. This extensive Late Neolithic /Early Bronze Age landscape is worthy of special protection.
Thanks to Denis Kavanagh for giving us the guided tour, it was an enjoyable night.







After photographing the rock art, We then went on to visit Coomasaharn lake. It was a beautiful fine evening rain free clouds and couldn't have been in a nicer spot. So picturesque and well worth visiting if near Glenbeigh, Co.Kerry.







Michael Herrmann - Since I joined The South Kerry Camera club, I have seen and learned so much about parts of South Kerry, that I didn't know even existed. All this is thanks to Michael- A great Photographer with such passion for Kerry. Thank you Michael..
