Dingle Late September 2008

Last Sunday, September 28 was one of our most beautiful days - cold but bright and sunny. It was also a lovely day for us, as we made a quick trip to Dingle.

First we went to a "drama" presentation at Camphill (sorry, no pictures). This is a residential home for disabled adults. It is a world wide movement, but this one in Dingle has only been going 2 years. They have 2 houses which overlook Dingle Bay and Dingle Harbor and have cows, sheep, pigs, chickens and a huge garden. In addition they do weaving and art work, which they sell. After the drama, we had tea and wonderful baked treats, then drove on in to Dingle town (only about a mile).

We really enjoyed the harbour on the day because the light was gorgeous - and especially good for photography. So, though some of these pictures are sort of repeats of other postings, we think they are especially beautiful.We caught a rowing race and, since we were there late in the day when all of the fishing boats were coming in, we were able to observe, and photograph, the unloading of the catch.










On the way home we had enough light left for Dana to finally get some good shots of the "oreo cows" (named by Susan Galvin Cook!). Many of you have seen this herd, between Camp and Annascul going out the Dingle Peninsula. There are many black and white cattle, but these are the only ones we've seen with this very distinctive pattern. He also took this shot of the sunset - it had been even more spectacular but disappeared quickly.








And finally, for the Siloam Springs readers - a shot of the good ship Dayspring!
