A lone car parked on the top floor of the carpark at Paul Street in Cork. Black clouds hovered ominously but the rain held off!

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. It may possibly be the same cloud over Allihies Beach but that’s probably just wishful thinking on my part. Both photos were taken close in time to each other so maybe ..

Discarded fishing tackle
Filed in Allihies, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, PhotosFishing tackle, nets, and even a gas cylinder rest against a wall near Allihies Beach in West Cork.

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 [...]

Great ball of flame
Filed in Blarney, Canon 20D, Canon 75-300, Cork, Ireland, Photos, Sky, Sun, UrbanSunrise over Blarney a few days ago. There was a thin layer of cloud on the horizon that nicely blocked out much of the light of the sun allowing me to capture this early morning sun. It’s amazing to think that the light we see takes 8 minutes to travel the immense distance between the [...]

A Rainbow over Cobh
Filed in Boat, Canon 20D, Cobh, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Photos, Sea, Sigma 10-20, Sky, Sun, UrbanA rainbow brightens up the dark clouds threatening Cobh in Co. Cork in late 2006. You can see Cobh Cathedral in the background, and I’d swear the boats in the foreground are still there in the same position all these years later ..

Call of the evening
Filed in Birds, Blarney, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Look up, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Sky, SunCall of the evening A bird atop the light outside my house calls into the glowing evening sky heralding the end of 2007. After walking Oscar I had to grab my camera and shoot the beautiful evening sky. The background was this colour, there’s no trickery here except a little vignetting and sharpening.

Mountain Daffodil

I drove up there last Saturday morning and stopped when I saw the open gate. Wandering in the driveway I took a few shots of the view and then noticed these daffodils growing. I prefer the daffodils.

Sunshine on the Conor Pass
Filed in Candid, Canon 20D, Dingle, Ireland, Kerry, Landscape, People, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Sky, WaterSunshine on the Conor Pass This will probably be the final photo from that September 2006 visit to the Conor Pass. It’s taken earlier than some of the others but I’m a sucker for leading lines so it had to go in! I love the reflection in the water on the valley floor, and the [...]
