MacGillycuddy's Reeks

I took this photograph on a March morning in 2010 near the little village of Kilgobnet in Co Kerry, Ireland. The mountain range to be seen in the shot is called the MacGillycuddy's Reeks. I was lucky with the picture in that I managed to capture the huge sunbeam just as it broke through the cloud. A childish part of me imagines an old man sits behind these clouds wearing a flowing white beard and holding an interminable scroll in his hands. But the grown-up part of me knows that God is far more indescribable than that. I do believe, however, that He made the mountain range and the trees as well as the grass, the sky and the clouds:-) Brian

The idea was hit upon by a few of ‘The Lads’, as the pub regulars are known. They had been drinking all day, after an important Premiership morning clash, when Dano Scutts (a drinker at The Wife Beater for over 20 years) got onto the subject of refugees. He said he was sick of seeing blacks all over the place and that they had ruined whole streets with their stinking shops. Jimbo Rancid, a stalwart patron of The Wife , stated that he was starting...
