The photograph in the guide

The Small Oratory on Skellig Michael glowing warmly under a starry sky, with the Small Skellig and the Kerry coast beyond across calm water

Nocturne, the Small Oratory, Skellig Michael, Co. Kerry

That's the photograph from the guide. It was made on Skellig Michael after dark, standing among the dry-stone cells with nothing for light but the stars and a single lamp lighting the oratory. The Small Skellig sits out in the middle distance, and the Kerry mainland runs along the horizon behind it.

The gallery is in Glengarriff, a minute's walk from the Blue Pool. The photographs are on the walls at full size, which is a different thing altogether from looking at one on a phone. If you're anywhere near, call in.
