Punk Legends at Cyprus Avenue
I shared a couple of photos of The Undertones last year but since they’re coming back to Cork next year and tickets just became available I decided to go look through the shots from that night again. They are fantastic, and I’m looking forward to seeing them again when they visit Cork. The atmosphere in…

Ancient Athens Meets Modern Tourism
When the sun is shining, it’s nice to have portable shade in the form of an umbrella. In Athens on the day this photo was taken it was a hot day! The Basilica of Megali Panagia (which translates to “Great Virgin Mary”) was an early Christian basilica built in Athens during the 5th century AD.…

The Capital of Culchies

Kinsale in Full Bloom
Kinsale’s tidy towns group must work overtime and they do a fantastic job of keeping the town tidy and colourful. These flowers were in a small boat at the end of the quay and make the area look so pretty. Aperture ƒ/3.5 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 500 Shutter speed 1/125s

When Stags Find Their Voice
I travelled to Kerry this morning to photograph the rutting in Killarney National Park there. There weren’t many stags to be seen but this fellow was lying in the middle of a field I suspected would have a stag or two. After a few moments he stood up, digging his antlers in the grass and…

Horse Riding by the Surf

Kinsale’s Waterfront Serenity
If you’ve ever been to Kinsale in Co Cork, you’ll immediately recognise the house and tree in the picture above. If you go back in my archives you’ll probably find a photo of it from another angle, but it’s so nice I thought I should take another photo. 🙂 TIL that style of large, spreading…

The Geometry of Retail
I was having a coffee and scone at the café in the Cornmarket Centre when I spotted the circles on the roof. Apparently they are acoustic baffles to absorb sound waves and echoes. I guess it is quite a large enclosed area.. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 24mm ISO 320 Shutter speed 1/30s

When Art Meets Daily Life on Sullivan’s Quay
I love the murals around Cork City, and the mural on Sullivan’s Quay is particularly eye-catching. Ordinary life continues on, but at least we’re treated to the gorgeous colours whenever we pass by. Aperture ƒ/9 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 77mm ISO 1600 Shutter speed 1/500s
