Ireland - Co.Kerry - Killarney - Gap of Dunloe - Turnpike Rock and Black Lough.

The Gap of Dunloe is a narrow mountain pass between MacGillycuddy's Reeks (west) and Purple Mountain (east) in County Kerry. It is about 11 kms (6.8 miles) from north to south. Within it are five lakes. The Gap has long been a popular tourist attraction. The road through it is narrow, winding and difficult for larger vehicles. A popular form of transport for tourists is the horse-drawn trap. The trap and ponies are guided by men from families that live in and around the Gap and are know as jarveys.

Rugged and so beautiful. I really like the lighting in this wonderful capture and the somewhat foreboding dark cloud. Very nicely framed and presented. VV++

A very scenic view of the Gap from here which is well composed and shot! Quite interesting background as well. V
