Skyhawk, a boat moored in Kinsale harbour. Moored there for quite some time by the looks of things. It’s aptly named. It seems the local bird population have taken a liking to it and made it a stopping off point. I didn’t go to the Marathon today. Adam was up until 10.30pm last night bawling [...]

Rough Weather ahead at Allihies
Filed in Allihies, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Photos, Rocks, Sea, WaterAllihies in West Cork is a beautiful beach surrounded by beautiful scenery but on this day in February clouds hung over our heads, the sun broke through momentarily but the seas still lashed at the coast and I almost got drenched while shooting on the pier there. Love this shot though, well worth braving the [...]

Walking to Mizen Head
Filed in Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Photos, Rocks, Sea, WaterThe lighthouse at Mizen Head in West Cork is a fairly big tourist attraction in the area, and no wonder. From the visitor center you descend by a sloping path to a narrow bridge between two high cliffs with the sea lashing underneath. The lighthouse itself is nestled at the end of the headland, clinging [...]

The old boat at Mizen Head
Filed in Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Photos, Sea, Sky, WaterNext time you’re out at Mizen Head you might notice this abandoned boat lying upside down by the visitor center. I almost missed it but I looked back to get a shot of the cliffs in the background. This makes a nice foreground I think. Anyway, must have been an awful chore dragging that boat [...]

Allihies Beach
Filed in Allihies, Beach, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, Photos, Sea, Sky, WaterI look outside now and see the hazy cloud and rain that has descended on Cork and wonder if I was really at Allihies beach and saw the fluffy cumulus cloud stretching off into the distance. It seems like a another lifetime. Today my wife, Jacinta, and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary. It’s a [...]

An Fear Marbh san uisce
Filed in Canon 20D, Dingle, Ireland, Kerry, Landscape, Night, Photos, Sea, Sigma 18-200, Sky, WaterAn Fear Marbh, or “The Dead Man” in English lies off the coast of Co. Kerry. I posted another photo of the island taken on the same night as this one here, but it was such a beautiful evening I took quite a few shots!
This boat, Sheila, has been tied up in Cobh for I don’t know how long. This photo was taken in 2006 but the last time I was in Cobh around this area I remember seeing it. I wonder what’s the story with it?
