26 May 2008 - Crosshaven Boats
In mid February we went down to Crosshaven and I took Adam and Oscar for a walk down the road past the boat yards. It was way too cold and windy though so I didn’t go too far. On the way back I looked up and this just jumped out at me!
Love how this came out.
24 May 2008 - The old boat at Mizen Head
Next 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 all the way up from the water. It was tiring enough pushing a buggy (and later carrying my bored baby) up from the bridge connecting the lighthouse to the mainland.
It’s a beautiful location. If you’re in West Cork be sure to visit!
29 April 2008 - Boats and fishing tackle
Boats and lobster pots (I presume?) lie on the quay in Bantry. This area is a must see for photographers. There are so many things to see you could spend hours there just snapping away!
18 April 2008 - Guide Me
Guide Me, a boat left high and dry above the beach at Baile Na nGall in Co. Kerry.
Declan from O’Learys Camera World rang this morning. My lens has arrived. I’ll go collect it tomorrow!
8 March 2008 - Learning the ropes
Ropes tie up small boats in Bantry, Co Cork. The tide is very far out and many boats are stranded in the mud.
I love the texture of rope. Yummy.
Looking forward to meeting you all at the photowalk tomorrow!
9 January 2008 - Cork Harbour from Curabinny
This is the small quay at Currabinny across the water from Crosshaven in Cork Harbour.
As today was such an awful day with driving rain, sleet and ice I think a nice calm photo was in order. This was taken in April last year.
I’m travelling soon. I realised yesterday that I may not have my Sigma 10-20 lens to bring with me. Boo!
24 November 2007 - Cu Na Mara
A bright red trawler pictured in Dingle Harbour last September.
The name of the vessel, “Cu Na Mara”, literally means "Hound of the Seas"!
Bigeoino says I made it to the front of “Cork Places”. Does anyone know what that is? Is it a magazine? I’m going to ask in Easons later today.
23 November 2007 - Maxol fuels the boats
A fuel truck from Maxol fuels a boat docked at Dingle Harbour with diesel.
Meanwhile, a long lorry next to it is loaded with goods from the boat. Busy times.
22 November 2007 - Blue boat out of water
Two small boats tied up and out of the water on the Dingle Peninsula, Co. Kerry.
17 November 2007 - You’re a star
So that’s what happens to reality tv show judges when they retire. They go off to Dingle and work on a trawler!
In the background is an old burned out trawler that has been tied up to the quay in Dingle for at least the last 18 months. I have photos of it from last year too!
