Irish Pony

Irish Pony
 Been doing a good deal of driving the past few days.....not much processing/looking at image time due to lack of sleep......As mention spent most of Sunday touring up in the Inishowen Peninsula. On Monday made the drive from Derry (Londonderry) to the Cong area...Today it was south to Limerick making several stops in the Partry Mountains - Finny area just outside of Cong. Must have seen minimum 10 rainbows - they are elusive - here one minute gone the next...managed to get one good image but that is for another time......tomorrow is exploring the Dingle area - I hear there are some pretty neat places to shoot....Have I mentioned how good the food is in Ireland.....that alone is worth the price of an airplane ticket...

The image today is from last Sunday up on the northern coast of Ireland - saw this pony out of the corner of my eye standing down in the field and was immediately attracted by the colors...made an immediate u-turn and went back....glad I did...one of my favorite images from the trip...

Only three days left.......went much too fast....

  2. A beautiful little pony and her/his coat, markings and mane blend so well with the surrounding colors. The points of the grasses (or are they rushes?) make the image look like pointillism.

    So you went from Inishowen to Cong, County Galway in a day? Boy, you really have done some "motoring"!

    Only three days to go? I fear I will be more disappointed than you, where your tour of Ireland it over.
