428F76947780b12901d49121f8ac3d48.Pdf N W E S Iveragh Peninsula Kenmare Foreword by Neil Jordan Inchiquin Drombohily The tourist buses tend to turn right at Glengarriff and head on towards Kilmackillogue Garanes Kenmare. So the Beara Peninsula is often left unvisited, except by cyclists, hikers, druids, painters, poets, Dutch and German sean-nos singers, Glengarriff Tibetan Buddhists, reiki healers, shamans and the locals themselves. Beara Peninsula Poleen Wood There are none of these evident in Norman McCloskey’s photographs. Ardgroom Rabhach’s Glen Glanmore Lake No people at all, in fact. There is one single sheep. Maybe the odd wandering farmer, shaman or reiki healer would have spoiled the breath- Derryclancy taking compositions and the stark natural beauty he finds there. Or Eyeries Glenbeg Lake maybe it’s better to allow the landscape speak for itself. It tends to grow Adrigole wilder the further south one travels, and I do notice the arrangement of his photographs seems to do the reverse. It begins in the Atlantic soaked Caherkeen Allihies, and moves backwards, towards the quiet forests around Poleen Wood. Reentrusk It is a very particular, almost Nordic landscape. Stark black fissures of rock Allihies erupt out of fields of brown and maroon heather. Small outcrops of an island Bere Island and ageing hulls of boats emerge out of the mists. Waterfalls trickle or Sheeps Head cascade from the mountainous cliffs, depending on the rains. And there Peninsula are a lot of them. Cahermore Dursey Island Rain, of course, rarely makes for a good picture. It, as well as the landscape, is an enduring feature of the Beara Peninsula. But what Norman McCloskey captures forever is that moment when the rain has stopped, and the familiar beauty emerges from the cloud. You had almost forgotten it was there. Atlantic Ocean Introduction by Norman McCloskey This is the place where it all began for me. A place that captivated me from or even just a fine dry day. You don’t rush, and never have to look too hard. my very first visit, and one which kept me coming back again and again It’s an instant hit as soon as you turn on to the winding R571 that forms until it was so ingrained in me that I found it hard not to end up here. a ring road around the entire peninsula. Rugged mountains, with their The landscape of the Beara Peninsula has been a source of endless distinct folds and jagged lines, greet you instantly. The initial tree-lined inspiration from the very first time I put film into a camera and headed out roads through a thin strip of farmland give way to open expanses of bog and into the landscape. A rugged and wild finger of south-west Ireland jutting rock that stretch out to the sea. I have the same sense of anticipation and out into the Atlantic Ocean, its spine of majestic and beguiling mountains excitement every time I drive out on this road, while at the same time letting have provided me with a never-ending list of beautiful locations to work in, a familiar feeling of contentment, peace, and connection wash over me. which seem to change every time I visit. For over two years I made the short journey from my home to create images It is truly a special place and somewhere that I have had a real deep-rooted for this book. Mostly early in the morning, setting off in the dark to be there connection to for over half my life, and so deciding to make this book was and present for that magical early morning light high up in the mountains both an exciting and daunting task. I have set out to photograph both new or to witness the beginning of a new day reflected on lakeshores or over and familiar locations, exploring the peninsula in greater detail while also the sea. Always working on my own, I have spent countless hours in this exploring my own relationship with landscape photography. incredible place, fully immersing myself in its beauty and in the time and space, it gifts to me. I discovered a place that I feel instantly at home in, no matter where I am or what the conditions. I have many years worth of memories of both working I have not set out to make a definitive collection of images that represent here and enjoying incredible days and nights out, all enhanced by stories every aspect of the Beara. Instead, this is my own personal take on a about people, places and history. I know this place, and I know how much it landscape that has inspired me and has, in fact, changed my life in more means to me. ways than I had ever realised. I live on the peninsula opposite, and from my home, we look across at the mountains and light, and clouds passing over it. My first sight in the morning and last at night is towards the distinct outline of Knockatee and the Caha Mountains. As a landscape photographer, these mountains act as a constant lure, and it doesn’t take much to have me packing gear and heading across to them. A tantalising clear sky at night, a forecast for a still or misty morning, A call to quiet Twenty-six years ago I took my first landscape photographs on the Beara. I didn’t fully appreciate it then, but the place I had made my home was providing me with the antidote to an upbringing that was full of drama, chaos, hurt and noise. Nothing has been so effective in tuning out that racket, than immersing myself in a landscape that I find so captivating. These images represent my deep connection with Beara that has given me real contentment, purpose, healing, and peace.

  • Bochum Paper
    A NEW ARCHAEOASTRONOMICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE IRISH AXIAL-STONE CIRCLES CLIVE L.N. RUGGLES, University of Leicester, UK and FRANK PRENDERGAST, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland Abstract This paper presents the preliminary results of a project undertaken in 1994 to investigate the astronomical potential of the axial-stone circles (ASCs) of seven or more stones in Counties Cork and Kerry, south-west Ireland. This group of sites is of particular interest in that the monuments in the group bear a striking resemblance to the recumbent stone circles (RSCs) of Aberdeenshire, eastern Scotland, which appear to exhibit a strong pattern of alignment in relation to prominent hilltop summits and the rising and setting position of the moon. The first indications from the Irish data are that similar patterns of alignment are not evident in the Irish ASCs. The Irish sites show no preference for orientation upon prominent hilltops and no clear astronomical trends. Introduction Astronomical alignments were quite extensively incorporated into monumental architecture at different times during the Neolithic and Bronze Age in the British Isles. Examples such as the solar alignment of the passage grave at Newgrange (Patrick 1974) and the solar axial orientation of Stonehenge in its later phases (Ruggles 1997a) are well known. Contrary to popular belief, the sites concerned were not “observatories” in the modern sense of the word, and there is no convincing evidence that the alignments were of any great precision (Ruggles 1997b). The astronomy was, rather, symbolic; studying the nature of this symbolism, and its manifestations in different groups of prehistoric monuments, gives us valuable insights into changing customs and beliefs in Britain during the third and second millennia BC (Ruggles and Burl 1995).

    Etappe 22: Ring of Beara Bantry – Glengarriff – Adrigole – Castletown Berehaven – Allihies – Ardgroom – Lauragh – Kenmare (128 km) Eine Rundtour um die Beara-Halbinsel, mit der im zweiten Teil der Wechsel vom County Cork zur Grafschaft Kerry erfolgt. Kartenskizze Etappe 22 Aus Bantry heraus führt die Strecke über die N71 (T65) an der Küste entlang bis Glengarriff; die Szenerie ist bei Glengarriff und später bis Adrigole sehr rauh, und insgesamt ist der Ring of Beara imposanter, unbekannter und anstrengender als der berühmte Ring of Kerry. Glengarriff, gäl. Gleann Garbh, 300 Einw., Co. Cork, ist ein Dorf, in dem im Sommer mehr Touristen als Einheimische anzutreffen sind. Es liegt an einer geschützten Seitenbucht der Bantry Bay und ist klimatisch dermaßen begün- stigt, daß es als mildester Ort Irlands im Winter gilt. Die deshalb üppig wach- sende Vegetation bietet einen Vorgeschmack auf die erstaunlichen Rhodo- dendron- und Fuchsienhaine, die die Grafschaft Kerry auszeichnen. Ein weite- rer Vorgeschmack auf die Tourismuszentren Kerrys erfolgt durch die Bootsleu- te, die arglose Besucher zu einem Trip nach Garinish Island überreden wollen. 1 Diese kleine Insel vor Glengarriff beherbergt einen der schönsten künstlich an- gelegten Gärten Irlands.
