We are staying for few days at friends place at Dunquin, on the western tip of the Dingle Peninsular. We gaze out over the sea to the Great Blasket Islands …. Here is Inishtooskert (Dead Man) at sunset.
It is all mists, low cloud, sheep, stone fences and green fields. Very peaceful and beautiful, with a great sense of history, the last Irish speaking area of Ireland.

Awesome! What do your friends speak?
They are English speakers who live in Tralee, so not Dunquin locals as such, but all their children have Irish names 🙂 I am sitting in Murphy’s Icecream Parlor, and it is time to go, so no more wi-fi until next time!!
Beautiful scene, Christine. Why is the island called “Dead Man?”
Ad, it looks like dead man lying on the sea … But the Irish name is much prettier, Inishtooskert!
😉
BEAUTIFUL!
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
A beautiful photo. I have visited that part of the world. It is a magical place that I hope to return to 🙂
i hope you will return too … we feel the same … must go back again one day 🙂 love your OM!
Very peaceful and beautiful!
Haunting colours on that sunset, Christine. I love it.
Oh goodness he really does look like a dead man!
Dingle Peninsular, Blasket, the appropriately named Dead Man – wonderful names and beautiful images.
A simple and beautiful post.
Thanks, Christine.
