Late evening in the Sally Gap Wicklow. I used to visit this spot regularly but not so much nowadays. It was good to be back here again.
Pubs in London would sell these as well as other seafood at weekends. Most would have a fresh fish stall outside. Seeing these in a local shop in Crewe, I had to buy them. Not quite the same but the memories came flooding back.

Thank you all for your views, faves and comments.
The southern screamer averages 81–95 cm (32–37 in) long and weighs 3–5 kg (6.6–11.0 lb). They are the heaviest, although not necessarily the longest, of the three screamers. The wingspan is around 170 cm (67 in). Among standard measurements, the wing chord measures 54 cm (21 in), the tail 23.2 cm (9.1 in), the culmen 4.5 cm (1.8 in) and the long tarsus 11 cm (4.3 in). It lives in tropical and sub-tropical swamps, estuaries and watersides.

Out across the windswept hills,
With rainbow hues, with misty blues,
Across the valleys, lakes and rills,
Where landscapes fuse, where eyes peruse,
And rest upon that quaint cottage small,
Tall chimney stack, with smoke of black.
A place of solitude from any squall.
That winding track, that calls you back,
To rest from ills,
To sit and muse.
With thoughts to trawl.

After the Skógafoss hike, we drove back to our cabin and had some time to chill out and let all the impressions sink in quietly. At least that was the idea, if I had not made a silly mistake about the time of sunset! Seljalandsfoss was around the corner and the weather conditions looked very promising for an actual sunset, and since we were only here for one night I only had one chance. But sunset was not in one and a half hour, as I thought, but half an hour! So I called the others gently but somewhat urgently to please get in the car as fast they could. Maybe you can imagine the look on their faces after a three hour hike. The drive to Seljalandsfoss was only four minutes according to Google Maps, and I think I was there in two, maybe three. Yes, that state of mind… After parking the car I hurried past a lot of other people, but the pathway was slippery so I had to be careful, while the sun went down slowly. I set up my gear, and the spray of the waterfall forced me to protect my camera and lens, without weather sealing, with a plastic bag. The sun was still getting lower, which seemed to go faster than before. Then the choices: Portrait or landscape? To many people and cars in the frame when shooting landscape. Turn the camera 90 degrees, better. How much of the foreground and the left or right? Ok, a few steps back. Yes good. Aperture, f11 should do, focus on 3 meter. Test. Yes, that’s fine. But no, look at that spray all over the frame. 2 second timer and a lens cloth, quick! Exposure, bracket or expose for the highlights? The water is moving, and I think the sensor can handle this, so the last one. Polarizer? Well it’s on anyway, so let’s leave it. Oh yeah, nice contrast on the rocks when I spin it. ND-filter for a nice long exposure effect? No time, look at that light! Fire, fire, fire. And there goes the light. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? It lasted only two more minutes after I set up the tripod. And these are the times, where you really benefit from knowing every knob and dial of your gear. Luckily there is an easy way to learn it and keep it this way, by getting out and make photographs whenever you can😊
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
A car on the Military Road crosses the border from Wicklow into County Dublin on a bitingly cold and blustery May evening. The bog road in the previous shot is just right of shot.
I took this as a test shot for the camera settings but quite like it for the movement in the car.

Hotrod shot with my iPhone through the windscreen added to my shot of the Seaford pier. Could have made the car a bit bigger but oh well.

Crane fly is a common name referring to any member of the insect family Tipulidae, of the order Diptera, true flies in the superfamily Tipuloidea. Cylindrotominae, Limoniinae, and Pediciinae have been ranked as subfamilies of Tipulidae by most authors, though occasionally elevated to family rank. In the most recent classifications, only Pediciidae is now ranked as a separate family, due to considerations of paraphyly. In colloquial speech, crane flies are sometimes known as mosquito hawks or daddy longlegs, a term also used to describe opiliones or the family Pholcidae, both of which are arachnids. The larvae of crane flies are known commonly as leatherjackets.
Crane flies have existed since at least the Barremian stage of the Early Cretaceous and are found worldwide, though individual species usually have limited ranges. They are most diverse in the tropics and are also common in northern latitudes and high elevations.
The Tipulidae is one of the largest groups of flies, including over 15,000 species and subspecies in 525 genera and subgenera. Most crane flies were described by the entomologist Charles Paul Alexander, a fly specialist, in over 1000 research publications.
