Archives for November 2009
30 - Academy Street Under Rubble
Academy Street, as it was back in August this year. Construction work has finished since. I wonder if it’ll ever start up again?
29 - Magic Water
Water laps the shore at Fountainstown Beach on a crisp September evening.
28 - Unlock the Church
The side gate to SS Peter and Paul’s Church in Cork City remains open during the day.
27 - CELTIC FIShER
The Celtic Fisher, out of Tralee, was docked in Dingle Harbour in early November.
26 - Dolphin Ferry!
If you want to see Fungie the Dingle Dolphin, you’ll have to queue up for the boat to bring you out into Dingle Bay!
25 - Silver Lining over Couminole
No matter how bad the day, how crummy and wet the weather is, there’s always a silver lining. This day on the Slea Head the silver lining was the fact that our toddler slept the whole drive around, and of course this photo.
This is the beach at Couminole on Slea Head in County Kerry. It had been pouring rain earlier in the day, it was very windy and cold but the waves pounded the sand and I lapped up the view. Love the countryside in County Kerry!
24 - Reflections of a fence
That same fence again, this time against the setting sun and reflected in a pool of water from the recent rains. Loved taking this shot and others at the time, they turned out almost as good as I imagined they would!
My sister-in-law’s husband Ed has published a short story and is using one of my photos to illustrate it! Read Almost a Murder Story, the story of two boys living in the North Side of Cork City who planned a murder.
23 - A pot of gold in the fields of Kerry
This is my desktop background. I love it! After Inch Strand on the way to Dingle in County Kerry the road gets very narrow and winds through the hills before coming down to sea level again. The picture above should be a familiar scene to anyone who has travelled that road!
The day we drove down to Dingle was a stormy one but the sun suddenly broke through the clouds and I had to pull over and get half a dozen shots of the beautiful golden light, the countryside and the rainbow. Stunning, even if I do say so myself!
Since I had one request for print prices, I uploaded this to Red Bubble. Check out A pot of gold in the fields of Kerry over there. Lots of print options.
22 - Light and cloud on the Atlantic
Clouds over the Atlantic off Slea Head play with the light beams hitting the water.
21 - St Mary’s Cathedral, Killarney
St Mary’s Cathedral, Killarney in the background. We walked around the town a few weeks back but I didn’t have time to get down to the Cathedral this time. Still impressive, even from this distance.
I wonder if “Tim O’Brien & Sons Furniture Carpets” is online anywhere?
