Whoever put this shot in the catalogue must have been a townie! It is titled “Pony and trap, Ring of Kerry, Ireland” and this is no pony and trap, but a working cart and horse. We haven’t had the pleasure of visiting with Mr. Tilbrook for quite some time, but as ever he brings a keen eye and a touch of colour to the proceedings.
They say that you should be careful what you wish for and when I put up the title on yesterday’s shot, I didn’t consider the after effects. I had an ear worm for the rest of the day and nana nah nah nanana nah is going around in my head ever since. :-(
+++ UPDATE +++
Star of this show is Mike Grimes, who pinpointed the location of this photograph with uncanny accuracy! So not the Ring of Kerry as we thought, but rather the Skellig Ring. Thanks very much, Mike. Another location identified...

I am told the best way to get rid of an earworm is to sing or listen to the whole song. The earworm is because your brain cannot remember all the words or music, so gets 'stuck'. 🎶La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la🎶 🎶La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la🎶 youtu.be/Tm4BrZjY_Sg (with words)

Not quite the Ring of Kerry, but The Skellig Ring looking down towards Finians Bay and where the Skellig Chocolate Factory is now. goo.gl/maps/dBbjfhnUc9UeD8du8

https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia I have been going to that part of the country all my life. Even if I haven't been on that road before, which somehow I doubt, a sort of 6th sense kicks in. The Ivereagh Peninsula is my first love, and The Kingdom really is God's Country.

Such a beautiful photo. Would make a great oil painting.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] ... And poles, and someone has been scribbling on the road - https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia/49942440558/in/dateposted/ Behind the camera at the road junction, there should be a Ford Consul Mark II with a lady who likes toads!

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] Ha ha! Mutton dressed as mutton. Mr Tilbrook continuing the long tradition of photographers proudly including their vehicles in shot. Started by Mr Stereo Pairs?
O Mac
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/ yea... mutton dressed up in sheep's clothing.. Id say ODea was the proudest motorist of them all.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/foxglove] Possibly, but this ain't West Virginia! In the linked shot, the VW Transporter pickup is a rare color or one unique to Irish CKD production; Wolfsburg's own catalogs show L31 Dove Blue as the only color through about 1956, gray-green is depicted in the 1957 illustrated brochure and by 1959 only blue, red and off-white are listed.
