Inch: the inside story., originally uploaded by jjn1.

We were in Kerry a few weeks ago when I was giving the opening Keynote at the IIUG annual conference in Tralee. Afterwards we went for a walk on the beach at Inch — and had tea in the charming cafe (run by an Egyptian: how cosmopolitan is that!). This picture was taken in very demanding conditions because of the discrepancy between the darkness of the interior and the brightness outside. What’s impressive is how the HDR Pro App for the iPhone deals with it.

In Memoriam, originally uploaded by jjn1.

Walking on a remote beach in Kerry on Thursday last, we came on this touching memorial stone. It’s a beach that is famous for treacherous offshore tides, so perhaps that explains what happened.

Seen on the beach at Inch, Co. Kerry, this afternoon. Like a French vaudeville villain, I thought.
