Bubbling Water
Filed in Beach, Black and White, Canon 40D, Canon 50mm f1.8, Cork, Fountainstown, Ireland, Photography, PhotosWater flows down to the beach at Fountainstown, bubbling as it goes over rocks and seaweed. PS. I’ve reduced the cost of all prints by about $50 to $80 for the largest size framed prints. Most of the cost goes towards manufacturing and my markup is only 20% on all prints.

The easy way up to the Montmorency Falls is by cable car direct from the visitor center. We took the steps. Legs. Sore. (Great coming down though!)
Red roses in my father-in-law’s garden, I think. This was shot way back in August but I’m fairly sure of the location.

Cross in the Roof
Filed in Architecture, Black and White, Canada, Canon 40D, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20Another (and final) shot of the roof in the Sanctuaire de Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in Quebec, Canada. I will post more from this church but this is the final shot of the main roof. Love the intricate design.

Look up at the roof
Filed in Black and White, Canon 40D, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20The ceiling of the Sanctuaire de Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in Quebec is quite a sight.
