Sunday photoblogging: Derrynane Strand, Co. Kerry

by Maria on January 11, 2026

On a sunny winter day at Derrynane strand in Co. Kerry, a black and white smooth-coated border collie crosses a shallow tidal stream in two leaps, with a promontory of rocks in the immediate background and mountains beyond. The image captures him fully stretched in mid-air two feet above the water, a splash behind him from where he bounced off, mid-stream, to complete the crossing with a second leap. Below him as he flies his shadow crosses the water just a little ahead of him, chased by the lowering afternoon sun.
