The laughing Irish donkey taken on a kitesurfing photoshoot near Dingle used on the front of a Calendar.

This donkey was laughing literally for about 2 minutes, then he walked off and ate.

I was working shooting kitesurfing in Ireland and the wind had dropped off, so I took some time out to shoot some stock images. The scenic drive round Dingle Peninsula was amazing and with my zoom lens and camera on the front seat, I had taken around 8 frames by the time I had walked upto him. Photo: Guy Harrop
