As I rounded a corner I was met by two donkeys roaming the same road, having a bit of fun they were rolling in the gravel and dust on the side of the road where there was good scratching. It was a hot day in the geological landscape of the border area in the south of Northern Ireland, the countryside was green, the sky was blue and the dust was rising with tarmac melting on the roads.
I have written about the geology of this area before with a panoramic image of this beautifully rugged part of Ireland.
It was a chance encounter, this donkey spent some time watching me watching it then wandered off with its friend to munch on some grass.
It is a common occurrence on a photography experience with Panoramic Ireland to have unusual moments like these, unplanned meetings with interesting people and animals and it is what makes a day on the streets of Belfast and Dublin or the backroads of South Armagh or Connemara all the more enjoyable.
