Ring of Kerry, Skellig Ring, and Cork City

Today I spent the day driving the Ring of Kerry and Skellig Ring. The landscape was breathtakingly raw with periods of driving rain, showers, mists, and soft sunlight. Here are some photos.

Here is Skellig Michael just before the mists and clouds completely obscure it.

Then I found Staigue Fort, which is a rock fort that is almost 100 ft in diameter with the walls over 12 ft thick and up to 24 ft tall in some areas.

Tomorrow I leave Cork and the southwest of Ireland for Lough Gur (where one of the Tuatha Dragon Clans resides in The Keepers of Eire), the Cliffs of Moher, and the festive town of Doolin.

About jordan

Jordan’s enduring love of fantasy, especially dragons, inspired her to begin writing her debut novel, The Keepers of Eire. Her obsession with all things dragon began at an early age with a dragon music box – a gift from her mother. Her collection now encompasses hand drawn pictures, mugs, clothing, beach towels, books, jewelry, plush fabric as well as metal, porcelain, pewter, and glass figurines. A cumulative trauma injury ended a long-standing career in the electronics industry. Thus the impetus to begin a new dream; writing about the creatures that continue to capture her imagination. She lives in California with her Pomeranian, Roarke.
