Cruising In Kinsale

Mmmm it’s been a lean period here of late; since my late post I had my thesis viva (that’s when you sit down with you supervisor and two other experts in your field and rip your thesis to shreds looking for mistakes and blunders that you have to justify). After three hours of scrutiny I passed and I’m now using my brand new title of Doctor at every opportunity! I’m still as poor as ever but at least I’m a poor Doctor now!

Glaring Sun in Southern Ireland

Phew! I’m just back from a game of squash and I am exhausted! You may not know this, but squash is apparently one of the most intensive sports to play. It really is! An hour of running back and forth, side to side, and around in circles trying to catch a ball whizzing over your head will get anyone sweating in no time! Highly recommended if you have a fat ass and want rid of it .

Here’s a pic from Co. Kerry (I need to travel more), taken around New Years 2010. I always like these shots into the sun, but I foolishly had my ISO settings high by mistake during my whole time there so there was a whole load of noise in all my Kerry shots .

The Deceptively Sunny Dingle Harbor.

Here is one of the very few scenes I could capture when I spent some time in Dingle, in County Kerry, over the new year. I never did get the opportunity to get out onto the water – even though the photo looks picturesque, Dingle is home to possibly the chilliest winds anywhere in the world and the last place I felt like being was away from the shelter of the shore

If You Visit Ireland Only Once, Make Sure You Drop By Kerry

It’s been 46 days since my last post. I used to post every single day, until I went out one night to grab a quick Guinness with two friends in Dublin and ended flying to Barcelona for two days – after that my daily routine was properly screwed up!

With any luck this post will be the first of a more regular series of updates, one every two or three days; again it’s from Kerry, the nicest place in Ireland I’m told, and I agree!

Inch Beach In Kerry: Niiice

Stephen — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 18:10:24 +0000

I spent the weekend of last week in Kerry visiting four friends and checking out some seriously awesome beaches along the way. This one here though was the best of the bunch – probably because the weather sucked at all the others. I was getting some real impressive driving lessons from my friend Catherine as well, well I was just sitting in the back seat while she bombed along the coast at 160mph – it was still great though!
