9 October 2009 - Wet, shiny stones
The outgoing tide on Fountainstown Beach leaves behind wet stones and seaweed as it retreats.
This is a long exposure shot of one second with my camera resting on one of those rocks!
By the time you read this I’ll be on a plane, in the air most likely, or waiting for a connection in Heathrow more likely. More details to follow.
19 September 2009 - Fountainstown Sunset
The beach at Fountainstown in County Cork faces east but in the twilight there’s still a glow in that direction. This was shot with my 50mm lens, really close to the surface of the water there while gentle waves lapped the shoreline.
Unfortunately as a result I had set the focus point so the water would be in focus and today forgot to change it, thus ruining a nice photograph at a family occasion. Then the focus somehow got kicked into manual on my 18-200 lens and ruined another few photos. Oh well.
Love this shot though!
18 September 2009 - Kite Surfer
A lone kite surfer flies through the water at Garrettstown Beach in County Cork a few weeks ago.
Last weekend with the good weather the beach was packed, but we were there when it was cold, rain drizzled, and a cold wind whipped up the fine sand everywhere. Place was deserted.
I like this photo. Made the trip worthwhile! 
Waves crash and water rushes in on the rocks at Couminole Beach in County Kerry.

Rocky Bay in County Cork is a beautiful little sandy beach, despite the name.
27 July 2009 - Crosshaven on the water
The town of Crosshaven in County Cork as seen from across the water.
Lots of photos uploaded to the photowalk homepage. I have to judge a winner in the next few days..
22 July 2009 - Hurling on the beach
A man leans on a hurley while his son runs after the sliotar (off picture) down the beach at Garrettstown last March.
15 July 2009 - Rock Landscape
Just beyond the pier at Kilkee Beach lie these rocks and pools of sea water.

The Arann Islands, as seen from O’Briens Tower on the Cliffs of Moher.
17 June 2009 - Emergency at Kilkee Beach
The lifeboat at Kilkee is stored at the top of this ramp going down to the water at the beach. At low tide it’s quite a distance and the wide angle makes a great job of getting it all in!
Those two dots on the beach are my family!
