Slea Head & Blasket Islands pics

To conclude the pictures from my holiday in Ireland in September I want to show you some of my pictures of Slea Head and the Blasket Islands, which are a group of islands that lie off the Irish coast just beyond the Dingle Peninsula. I never actually went across to them but the youth hostel I was staying at was situated directly opposite them so I was able to get a few pictures of them without going very far from the hostel. The first picture below is of Slea Head, taken from the top of the cliff overlooking Coumeenoole Bay. This scene will be well-known to film-lovers as it was featured in the film "Ryan's Daughter" and in fact near to where this picture was taken is a commemerative stone. Unfortunately I have never seen the film so the reference is completely lost on me. It's merely a spectacular coastal scene to me. If you turn towards the sea from this point you get the scene depicted in the next picture.Beyond the cliffs of Dunmore Head is Great Blasket Island and my final picture shows the islands with the setting sun behind them.This picture was taken on the final day of my holiday as I was heading back to the youth hostel after the day spent walking up Brandon Mountain. I was just driving past when I happened to notice this spectacular sunset and immediately stopped the car to take a picture. And that concludes my pictures from Ireland.
