A Milkcap in the Galtees
We took ourselves to Kings Yard near the Galtees today, and walked up a nearby trail next to a river. It was lovely there, so quiet except for the sound of the rushing water! There weren’t many mushrooms around yet but we spotted a bunch of them near the end of our walk and I…

Showdown The ELO Experience at Cyprus Avenue
The ELO Experience played in Cyprus Avenue in Cork last night and they were fabulous, playing many deep cuts as well as The Electric Light Orchestra’s greatest hits. The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the night and they announced their next gig there in May next year! Aperture ƒ/1.8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 75mm ISO 1250 Shutter…

London’s Most Pampered Pooch
I love this little dog’s pet carrier, but every little dog wants to walk and smell the world around them. When they get tired it’s time for a rest and this dog is spoiled with that pet carrier. As they should be. 🙂 Aperture ƒ/9 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 240mm ISO 1250 Shutter speed 1/500s

Casting Lines in Cobh
On a warm August day in 2005, you’d find plenty of lads fishing in Cobh, including this bunch who were brave enough to fish from a crumbling pier. Another photo from that evening shows a disturbance in the water at the mouth of Cobh harbour, where I presume sprat are desperately trying to get away…

It was one of those mornings where the sun shone on the clouds from below the horizon and filled the sky with fiery colours! I’ve been working on a WordPress plugin called Cloud Cover Forecast. It will show you the low, mid, and high clouds for a particular location in a block on your site.…

Mahon’s Radio Tower
Twenty two years separate the two images here. The first one is a photo of the old radio antenna tower in Mahon and it was taken in 2003. Back then cattle grazed in the field the tower stood in. That tower was dismantled around a year ago. There’s an interesting Reddit thread here about it.…

From the Heart of Spain
La Mariblanca, a statue in a large square in Madrid, marks the geographic centre of Spain. This is what it looked like in 2017, but the area around it has been developed since then and now there’s more places to stop and sit. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera Canon EOS 6D Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter…

The Working End of Gardening
The allotments next to Ballincollig Regional Park need storage for various things, but I doubt the cabinet in the photo above is used for much any more. Videos I watched recently Aperture ƒ/9 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 62mm ISO 500 Shutter speed 1/160s

Window on the City
From the car park on North Main Street, Cork, you can Bruce College and St Mary’s Dominican Priory. I liked how the stark lifeless concrete frame of the multi-story car park contrasted with the variety of materials and colours in the world outside.

Another One Bites the Crust
Meet London’s most successful entrepreneur. This seagull has cornered the market on prime real estate with a view. Perched on the Millennium Bridge like it owns the place, this feathered opportunist represents everything brilliant about urban wildlife adaptation. While Freddie Mercury sang about another one biting the dust, this gull’s motto is clearly “another one…
