I made this from the Bull Rock, about ten kilometres off the tip of the Beara Peninsula. I'd spent a couple of nights out there, camped on this massive rock with a tunnel running clean through it, an abandoned lighthouse on top, and one of Ireland's largest gannet colonies for company. The noise and the smell are extraordinary.
For much of the trip I found myself looking back towards the mainland rather than out to sea. This particular afternoon, heavy dark cloud had been stacking up behind Dursey Island all day. There was a quality to the light that made everything feel weighted and charged. The kind of atmosphere where you know something is coming but it hasn't arrived yet.
From out there you can see the Cow and Calf rocks sitting between you and Dursey, and there's a beautiful symmetry to the way they anchor the lower half of the frame while the sky does all the work above. A single gannet flew through the scene just as I released the shutter. Perfect timing. In a large print, you can actually make out the broken lighthouse on the Calf rock, which adds another layer to it.
Dursey itself is reached only by cable car. From the Bull, it looks like the edge of the known world. And yet it was the closest thing to civilisation I had!
