The chains that bind

Rusted chains lie on the ground near the walkway to the Mizen Head Lighthouse. Just saw Star Trek. In my head it was the best thing since sliced bread but it was still a great film. Loved the little nods to the original series. Definitely worth going to see!

One Bridge to Mizen Head
Filed in Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20, UrbanThe bridge to Mizen Head Lighthouse is a landmark itself, photographed many times over the years.

Nuclear powered lighthouse anybody? PS. This is [...]

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 [...]
