Killarney’s Crystal Water

Last October when Blarney Photography Club visited Killarney to photograph the rutting season this year, we took a break from the deer and some of us went to O’Sullivan’s Cascade. This is the Lakes of Killarney as seen from where that waterfall flows into the lake.

It was a beautiful clear day. The sky might have been a little boring for photography but I loved what I saw there. Especially when I saw how the sunlight caught a rock in the water. The hills in the background disappear into the distance like a painting. Quite a remarkable day.

The common #loon, that #icon of northern #wilderness, is under threat from #ClimateChange due to declining #WaterClarity. Published earlier this month in the journal #Ecology, a study conducted by #biologists from #ChapmanUniversity & #RensselaerPolytechnicInstitute has demonstrated the first clear #evidence of an effect of climate change on this species whose distinct call is so tied to the soundscape of #Canada’s lakes & #wetlands.
