Yet another visit to beautiful Lough Gill to end this week and a view to die for! Mr. French appears to have brought a few of his drinking partners to share the view with him on this occasion though the top hat looks rather out of place out in the wild!

From Dooney Rock towards Cottage Island - or am I on the wrong track?

Mary, there is not much food at the picnic? They must have ate the Dog..

I wonder if they are looking at the schedule of photos taken and photos still to be taken?

I wonder if the middle one is W. B. Yeats who is looking for a page in his notebook to write down a poem which has just popped into his head - 'The Fiddler of Dooney' (first published 1892) - youtu.be/J2yR_7-QOp4

Mr French returned on a different day (see water level around Cottage Island) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000334359

I know it's not entirely comparable, but this image put me in mind of a similar "mountains in background, lake in middleground, figures in foreground" we had before. Thankfully these lads look a lot more relaxed than the lads in the previous one from Killarney: www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/26040083492/

It looks on close-up that the top hat guy has waders and a wooden leg

SNAP! An almost matching stereo pair; does that mean we are before 1883 ? - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000564379 - with much clearer detail.
