The sixth in a series of photographs taken on a trip around Southern Ireland in the Autumn
Heading west from Killarny on the N72 to travel around the 176km of the Inveragh Peninsula, known as the Ring of Kerry. MacGillycuddy's Reeks, the highest mountain range in Ireland, dominates the centre of the peninsula. Just visible in the clouds, Carrauntoohil, the highest mountain in Ireland. It brings back memories....I climbed it about 45 years ago.
