Fort Camden
Fort Camden overlooks Cork Harbour near Crosshaven and was abandoned years ago.

Lots of photos in the post above, on Abandoned Ireland too, with forum discussion on celticradio.net. In 2010 a 4 man team…

Abandoned Interior
The interior of a cottage at the picturesque Brandon Creek on Slea Head, County Kerry. Outside there’s a planning permission notice, dated August 2008 and written in Irish. I presume the owner is no longer in a hurry to develop his property. All he wanted to do was replace the roof and add an extension.…

Quality Irish Meat
A SuperValu lorry delivers produce to their store in Dingle, Co Kerry a number of months ago. While the rest of the country basked in the first rays of a beautiful Summer we were lucky to get two nice days out of seven. Love the area though, and the staff of the Dingle Skellig Hotel…

Time for the train
A clock suspended from the roof of Heuston Train Station, Dublin. The odd thing about travel is that I’ve probably been in the US more times than I’ve been in Dublin, and certainly have been in London. Aperture ƒ/6.3 Camera Canon EOS 40D Focal length 10mm ISO 400 Shutter speed 1/80s

Crowded daffodils
Daffodils at the end of our estate line the edge of the road in a beautiful display. Edit: I’ve just heard the sad news about Danny O’Brien. I never met him but his photography was always amazing. I hope his site can stay online for a long time so people can appreciate his work. My…
