West Cork for Palestine in Skibbereen
While enjoying the market in Skibbereen I spotted a march in support of Palestine and got a few photos. It was West Cork for Palestine marching. They were a small group but made up for it in noise and their presence. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/640s

Golden Reflections on the River Lee
An evening walk along the River Lee near the Inniscarra Hydro Station a few years ago and we were rewarded with a lovely sunset shining on the banks of the river. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 65mm ISO 125 Shutter speed 1/80s

The Wild Beauty of Coumeenoole Beach
Coumeenoole Beach at the end of the Dingle Peninsula is a favourite spot on a drive around that headland. It’s dangerous to swim there, but it’s such a picturesque area we always end up there every time we visit the area. Coumeenoole Beach gained international fame after being featured in the 1970 film “Ryan’s Daughter,”…

The Watchful Eye of Sheep’s Head
Several years ago on Sheep’s Head we went for a walk and discovered a lovely horse nearby! Did you know? Horses have nearly 360-degree vision due to the placement of their eyes on the sides of their heads, allowing them to spot predators from almost any direction without moving their heads. Aperture ƒ/1.8 Camera SM-G998B…

A Monkey Attraction

Last Stand of R&H Hall
It’s not every day you get to capture a piece of Cork’s history before it disappears forever. The R&H Hall building is now gone, and even Google Maps have updated their streetview so this same view of Victoria Road is now quite different. The R&H Hall grain silo towers, built in 1934 and 1954, stood…

Frederick Douglass Inspires in Cork City Centre
I love this mural of Frederick Douglass. It’s painted on a wall of the small avenue going up to the Unitarian Church on Princes Street. I think the church has been closed for quite some time, but I’m glad this area is maintained. The history of the church here is fascinating too. After a fire…

Bicycles and Banter on Castle Street
I interrupted a conversation in process when I took this photo, as the man on the bike noticed me. I don’t think I’ve seen his since I took this photo in March, 2021. Aperture ƒ/3.5 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 24mm ISO 250 Shutter speed 1/500s

A Splash of Yellow and Red
A couple sitting at an outdoor table in a little café in Athens, Greece about a year ago. Their body language couldn’t be more different, and every time I look at this image, I wonder what they were talking about. Their roles in this conversation are opposed. He appears relaxed and confident, while she is…
