Over Easter I spent a few weeks in Melbourne. After putting a roll of film through my grandfather’s old Olympus 35RC, and also shooting a roll of film on a Vivitar K-mount SLR I bought maybe 10 or 15 years ago and hadn’t used much (I had taken maybe 4 frames on some black and white film and never processed it), I took even more cameras than usual, including a few film cameras.
My penultimate day in Ireland was spent in the southwest. I left the hotel car park and stopped at the petrol station next door for fuel and snacks. Killarney was a couple of hours from Limerick.
Up early, I walked up the road for coffee before heading south. Fun fact, the feature image from the Galway post was actually taken today, and not yesterday. I knew where the yellow and blue houses were and made sure I got a good photos of them.
I left the maps on ‘avoid tolls’ – I wasn’t sure it was going to add much time to the drive, or how to pay the tolls at this point, so it just became a thing that I would avoid all tolls. I headed south following the coast before turning slightly inland and heading higher. I passed through The Burren with its limestone hills and stopped to enjoy the view, in both directions, down the valley and up into the hills.
