Wildflower Adornment of Slea Head, Co Kerry, Ireland
Like a Bridesmaid adorned for a wedding: the garland of flowers was a pink tiara upon the precipitous headland.
And this was the set location for the filming of Ryan's Daughter. Ryan's Daughter is a 1970 British epic romantic drama film set between August 1917 and January 1918. It tells the story of a married Irish woman who has an affair with a British officer during World War I, despite moral and political opposition from her nationalist neighbours. The film was a box office success.
While we were exploring and marvelling at the very rugged cliffs and the majesty of it all, we were really attracted to these delicate pink flowers right at our feet. What an absolute contrast: these delicate pink flowers adorning the majestic clifftops. There were pockets of them on little ledges down the cliffs. These 'delicate' flowers, in a 'delicate colour', in 'delicate clusters' in a bold rugged setting.
We saw in these clusters of blooms a visual parable for the story of Ryan's Daughter, who in her loving was enmeshed in the powerful hatreds and conflicts of war and nationalism!
