A Ewe and Lambkin cross The Famine Road with the Adrigole River valley in background. The original road was built as a public works project during the Great Famine, improved in the 1930’s and named after the first Governor-General of the Irish Free State, Timothy Michael Healy.

Healy Pass, also known as Famine Road, ascends the County Cork. Here we look back on a portion of narrow, patched asphalt winding through the Adrigole River valley.

I present here one of my infrequent original witticisms with a touch of photographic mystery.

I prefer my “mysteries” wrapped in a bun with mustard, dill relish and sauerkraut.

We lingered in this curve of Famine Road over Healy Pass, beauty in literally every direction.

Here we follow the modest flow of river Adrigole through its valley, the way we came. The road is just visible to the right. Beara peninsula, County Cork, Republic of Ireland.
