We spent one day driving around the Ring of Kerry, which is on a western peninsula of Ireland. The lady at the hotel said people could get around it in four hours; we managed to squeeze it into eight. One of the places we stopped was at the Cliffs of Kerry. Now these aren't the famous Cliffs of Moher, but those were father north and we didn't have time to get there. These ones are smaller, but they're stunning. I've never seen anything like them.
I had my zoom lens on my DSLR camera when we first walked up to them. It was really foggy/misty and the lens was zooming too much. So we walked back down to the car, I changed lenses, and went back up. I'm so glad that I did because the cloud that had been passing over us, misting, and creating poor visibility had passed. I got some better pictures, and I loved being there. I'm such an ocean girl. Apparently there are islands in the distance, and this is the only place where you can see them. Unfortunately, it was still too cloudy, so I never saw them. But, I am not sure what is so special about them, so I don't feel like I missed out too much. I've seen plenty of islands in my day.
By the way, all of these Ireland photos are unedited...because I'm lazy and don't want to spend the extra 10 minutes to edit them. Sorry.

I have about 50 other photos just like the ones above. They are absolutely stunning (the cliffs, not my photos).
These are replica beehive huts that you can find on the Dingle Peninsula. We never saw any there, but they're pretty cool. They're manmade and are supposed to be water tight. These were not. This is on my first trip up to the cliffs...see how foggy/misty it was?
Some horses on the way up to the cliffs, which you can see in the background.
I thought these ridges covered with grass were intriguing. Here comes another cloud!
