Bought a beautiful slate with painting on it yesterday before I left where I had spent the summer.
It's of Gougane Barra Oratory, done by Pauline Neville. Her stuff is stunning.

Saint Finbarr, the patron saint of Cork, built a monastery on an island in Gougane Barra. Legend has it that Finbarr was led to the source of the River Lee by an angel, and it was because of this guidance that he founded his monastery here.

Gougane Barra Reflections

The small chapel in Gougane Barra early one morning when the water of the lake there is almost motionless.

When I went to Gougane Barra with Blarney Photography Club a few weeks ago, I met the cutest collie ever. He was so chill and friendly, and he had this gorgeous white and brown fur that matched the scenery perfectly. I think he works at the hotel nearby, but he didn’t charge me for his cuddles.

So, a few weeks ago, I went with fellow members of Blarney Photography Club to Gougane Barra to catch the sunrise. Sadly, the clouds were pretty thick that day, but we still managed to get some cool photos. One shot I was particularly happy with was the reflection of the chapel on the island. Despite some showers here and there, we were lucky to catch some good light for our shots.

A couple standing by the lake in Gougane Barra almost 20 years ago, the man looking bored while the woman in a sky blue jacket leaned towards a lone swan. It was shot in April, the bare trees in the background signaling the arrival of spring.
