Another shot of the Electric Wires warning sign I posted yesterday. This one gives you a flavour of the landscape in the area, and the desolate, remote location of the sign.

Filed in Allihies, Beach, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, Photography, Photos, Sea, Signs, Sky, WaterStorm clouds gathered over West Cork on the day I took this shot at Allihies Beach.

Gives me the shivers just looking at [...]

Allihies Countryside
Filed in Allihies, Beach, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Photography, Photos, Sea, Sky, WaterThe road to the beach at Allihies in West Cork branches in two a few miles from there.

Castletownbere Harbour
Filed in Boat, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Co. Cork, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sea, Sky, Urban, WaterThis is the harbour at Castletownbere with an impressive cloud hanging over the water.

Me and Justin
Filed in Black and White, Boat, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Kinsale, People, Photos, Sea, Sigma 18-200, Urban, WaterDown in Kinsale on Monday, I watched a couple get their small boat ready to sail off into the harbour with my friend Justin. He’s a keen sailor but he hasn’t been on the water in ages, and I could see he was itching to get out there. To be honest, the evening was so [...]
