The road to the beach at Allihies in West Cork branches in two a few miles from there. This was taken on the scenic route where the road comes out between two hills and you see this beautiful expanse of hills and grassland spread out before you. It’s quite a sight. My poor photo does [...]

What happens after the oil runs out?
Filed in Beach, Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Co. Cork, Cork, Ireland, Photos, VehiclesA car lies wrecked, burned out and upside down on the beach near the cemetery in Iniscarra where I shot a few “infra red” photos back in 2004. Is this what faces the world when the oil runs out? Abandoned cars and other vehicles left to rot and ruin scenic areas? I drove past a [...]

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 [...]

Going Overboard
Filed in Allihies, Beach, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Photos, Sea, Sky, WaterGoing Overboard Bertie’s going overboard today, hopefully. As I write this Bertie Ahern is speaking and it sounds like a resignation speech. I haven’t heard an apology for lying under oath and deceiving the public yet however. Unfortunately we’re all going to forget this by the next election. Hopefully the other parties will make hay [...]

Spectators on the beach
Filed in Autumn, Beach, Candid, Canon 20D, Inch Strand, Ireland, Kerry, People, Photos, Sea, Sigma 10-20, Sky, WaterSpectators on the beach The hang gliding crowd attracted a bit of a crowd on Inch Beach in 2006. Well, it was late September and there wasn’t that many people on the beach in the first place, so 2 people isn’t so bad, eh? Hunger got the best of us and we watched as a [...]

The Happy Shih Tzu
Filed in Beach, Canon 20D, Cork, Dogs, Garrettstown, Ireland, Photos, Sea, Sigma 18-200, WaterThe Happy Shih Tzu Our Shih Tzu, Oscar, received a long overdue grooming today. Here he is on the 10th of December 2007. Can you imagine how much more hair grew since then? Yes, this photo is very similar to this beach photo. They were taken moments apart. I’m running low on prepared images, it’s [...]
