Iveragh Peninsula | October 2007 | Another Photograph Photomovie: Iveragh Peninsula 2.17 mins Somewhere near Caherdaniel the clouds clear and we stop for awhile to hear the crashing waves, on to Portmagee and a stop for tea, across the bridge to Valentia Island and a walk by the Ocean, the ferry from Knight's Town, back to the mainland, on through Bealach Oisin (the Ballaghasheen Pass) as night draws in. (0841) Uploaded on October 9, 2007 Robin Johnstone says: OH that sky and Backround is fabulous! tonypraxis says: Robin, hi and thank you. We could easily have spent the whole day here, just wandering by the sea, listening to the Ocean and feeling the salt spray, but we had decided to explore a little more, and maybe come back here - another day. Robin Johnstone says: i know what you mean. i spend as MUCH time as possible at my beach. as you described. the sounds and smells. Nothing like it! tonypraxis says: Sometimes wonder why I live in the city .. habit and work .. walking by the sea - definitely nothing quite like it. castleblue says: "Iveragh Peninsula 2:17 seconds" ... but it's an exceptionally perfect two minutes and seventeen seconds. A beautiful place where the light filters with a golden hue across perfect green hills ~ perfect being the operative word here. And all the while those delicate keys playing softly... leading us along the way. tonypraxis says: Greg, thanks so much for that. I spent ages trying to find some music (back to 1980 for this) to go with these pics and fiddling around with the sequence. In the end I felt I just had to move on, even though I felt uneasy with the result. So your feedback is much appreciated. stewpic says: Some exceptional pictures in this photomovie, hills ,rainbow , river breaking waves. the green. rocks I could go on and the music notes take you along this short tour of lonely peninsula. Neoslv says: Hi Tony, Stewart, thank you. This sublime Kerry landscape makes it easy to find the picturesque. Mario, thank you. Experiencing the landscape was so interesting and invigorating, with the pictures becoming a memory evoking something of how it feels to be there. What a beautiful collection of shots. know what you mean about the music.Should I go with this or not? ? Cliff, thanks. Finding the music always takes time, it's also enjoyable because I'm motivated to listen to a range of new music. This also means finding much new music I like but that doesn't work with these photomovies. In the end I still need to be aiming to produce my own soundtracks though. This is beyond poetry, it's geology (with some wonderful light). Tom, this area has so much to see, with geology around every corner - who needs art when you have this sort of reality. F12Oct07-11.48bst,WLDC,Vista cmpr dwsts Robert, thanks. Yes, we did travel along some of the Ring of Kerry. Quite often the road would link up with footpaths that also wind their way around the Peninsula.
