A pot of gold in the fields of Kerry
Filed in Canon 40D, Ireland, Kerry, Landscape, Nature, Photography, Photos, Rain, Sigma 10-20This is my desktop background. I love it! After Inch Strand on the way to Dingle in County Kerry the road gets very narrow and winds through the hills before coming down to sea level again. The picture above should be a familiar scene to anyone who has travelled that road! The day we drove [...]

Barry’s Balloons
Filed in Blarney, Candid, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, People, Photography, Photos, Rain, Sigma 18-200, Street, Trees, UrbanLast Sunday a “fun day” was held in the square in Blarney. I had completely forgotten about it until we got down there and there was a huge crowd there with food stalls, a bouncy castle and this inflatable slide and various races for all the kids. Shame about the weather though. Barry’s Balloons obviously [...]
Rain falls on a river in a town in County Clare while we were stuck in a traffic jam. I used to know what town this was taken in but now it’s a mystery. It did have a very distinctive walled off area right in the middle of the river though. Anyone recognise it?

A torrential rain shower had just passed and thankfully was the last we saw. PS. Cork photowalkers! Upload your images [...]

Dan Lowrey’s Tavern on Mc Curtain Street, scene of our brush with car trouble yesterday. It was a stroke of luck we found parking just outside this pub! I’d write more, but my head is stuffy, my sinuses are blocked and I’m feeling under the weather. Hope my car is repaired tomorrow!
I’m glad my wife Jacinta insisted we join AA Ireland. I’ve had over 15 years of almost trouble free driving (ok, the electrics in my Alfa 147 died once, but stopping and starting the engine fixed that, and it’s an Alfa Romeo, what do you expect?) but this morning as we drove into town and [...]

Directions to Blarney Castle
Filed in Black and White, Blarney, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Rain, Signs, Urban, WaterBlarney Castle is that way. Go out the gate, turn right, turn left and park. Right in front of you. I got back to Ireland yesterday afternoon. A mostly uneventful flight home, except for some problems with check in and I had to check in twice more. On the last attempt I got bumped to [...]
