Lackabane, Lauragh, Co. Kerry, Éire

Here's a glimpse of the hills that separate Cork from Kerry along the Beara peninsula. Lackabane is the hill at the right hand side of the picture and my suspicion is that the name means White Flagstone (from Leaca Bán). The day featured one of those classic mixtures of clouds and sunshine with the former more than occasionally getting in the way of the latter. That’s why there is such a mixture of darkness and light in the photo. Having not been down that way for a while, it does place the idea of a return into my mind.
