Camping In West Cork, Ireland

  1. Where specifically is this from? The OH isn’t Irish and wanted to go camping last summer but a mix of work commitments and not being able to find many decent places as so much land is private (admittedly on a fairly brief search) got in the way. Looks like a pretty good spot even though its hard to tell with the dark!

  2. Stupid question but does the sky actually look like that in person? Or is it due to a long exposure shot.

  3. I’m gonna need to know roughly where that is so I can go. Always wanted to camp out and see the stars and not the lights of a camp site
    Edit to add .. amazing pic. Thanks for sharing

  4. Is this recent? Been worried about the longer days, thought that would affect things too much.

  5. Years ago, in the untouched wilderness of County Kerry, the lads and I were awash in the cosmic theatre above us. Encased in the tranquil silence of nature, the night sky unveiled an astronomical masterpiece, its brilliance undimmed by civilization’s intrusions.

    Under its radiant gaze, we succumbed to the intoxicating pull of a celestial sedative, an ethereal horse tranquilliser. Its profound effect sharpened the beauty of the star-studded vault, etching it indelibly into our senses.

    The spellbinding spectacle resonated deeply, the divine tableau lending an almost spiritual connection. The sky’s grandeur, amplified by our transcendent state, felt as close to divinity as we had ever been.

  6. I went camping with my best friend a couple weeks ago and the forestry was cut down. Barren waste land with just a lake in the middle. Any good camping spots to recommend?

  7. Images like these almost seem too good to be true since i’ve never experienced something like this. Like if I looked up, would I see this with the naked eye?

  8. first thought was warren beach in rosscarberry but too much light pollution. so many great little spots down there though.

  9. I was unaware that Ireland experienced clear skies. I remember an Irish astronomical association being very salty during the last transit of Venus.

  10. Super cool photo. Are these photos possible on phone cameras or would you recommend your camera?
