Dunquin’s Dramatic Edge
Dunquin Harbour is mostly photographed from the cliffs above because there is a narrow winding path that descends on a steep trajectory to sea level. As I said previously in my photo of An Fear Marbh the sky was a monochrome grey but suddenly the clouds dispersed and some of the lovely light of the…

Bantry Market’s Most Diverse Stall
Traditional Catholic culture meets modern Irish culture in this stall. A statue of Mary holds a Cork flag, the red and white instantly recognisable by anyone in the County. There’s something for everyone at this stall. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/1600s

An Fear Marbh at Sunset
It looked like there wouldn’t be any sunset, but I was down at the bottom of Dunquin Pier when I saw an orange glow coming from behind the large rock blocking my view of the sun that had just set. If you know how steep that path down to the pier is, I hope you’ll…

Inniscarra’s Historic Stone Bridge
This is the narrow bridge that crosses the River Lee near the Ballincollig Royal Gunpowder Mills. I found out today while doing a little research that the bridge was built in 1805, replacing an older 6 arch bridge. It’s very narrow, but a survey showed that 7,000 cars cross it every day!

Bee goes buzz
An Asian hornet was spotted in Cork recently. If they gain a hold in this country it could be very bad news for bumblebees like the one in this photo. This particular bee had 3 of us surrounding her with cameras trying to photograph her as she fed on the nectar of this little flower.…

Nature’s Spotlight in Ballincollig Park
It’s sometimes hard to believe there was a gunpowder mill in this area, but look around and you’ll see the ruins everywhere. Here though, I found a winding, worn path running parallel to the neat tarmac of the modern path. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1s
