Torc Waterfall, Killarney National Park

Just a few miles from Ladies View and the Lower Lake in the same Park is this splendid waterfall. At the base of the Torc mountain the Owengarriff River drains from the Devil's Punchbowl corrie lake on Mangerton Mountain. The highest fall, shown here, is a 20m drop, with the whole cascade being 110m.

Herb Riddle replied to John Goodwin:

Thanks John. I had to bend low for this and so no tripod using the tiny rock I was stood on-shutter around 1/60th but it worked well for me.

Cheers, Herb

I love the warm light on the tips of the trees and the low angle gives an impression of powerful water, which I'm sure it was. It's a beautiful place and picture Herb......Regards, Rosa.

Herb Riddle replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

Nice to see you again Rosa. I guess I was lucky that the light managed to get onto the high trees as well as on this section of the lower falls too. It was most impressive, which attracted an awful lot of other visitors beside ourselves here. I had to wait my turn to get to that low stone for this. We also took the many steps to the very top of the falls and beyond -hard work and not really worth the effort for us as you could hardly see the falls through the trees. Anyway -good exercise, as they say...
Cheers, Herb
