Number four of six from the Kerry County side on the descent Healy Pass, R574. Here I turn the camera on the Manfrotto studio tripod with hydrostatic ball head to the original view, a little less lit with a better leveling of the horizon.
A first glance, the rhododendrons in bloom are beautiful along the hedgerows and the foreground. Click me for our first encounter with this flowering plant. Later, during out stay at Ashford Castle, County Mayo, during kayaking on Lough Corrib, I remembered this scene and described it to my guide. He filled me in the rhododendron is a notorious invasive species. Click me for an interesting article with all the details.
Here is story of visitors LOST in a rhododendron forest.
Beara Peninsula, Coolcreen townland, County Kerry, Republic of Ireland.

I was wondering the other day whether I will continue with this afterwards … still not sure but probably not! Much rather fly over and do the real thing!
