A Silhouette of a Sunset
The sun had just set beyond Dunmore Head, next to Coumeenoole Beach. I had arrived late, but in time to make a silhouette of the hill and catch clouds just peeping over the hill.

The Rock Orchestra in Cork Opera House
We went to see The Rock Orchestra play in the Cork Opera House last night, and they were a blast! Hopefully, these photos will help capture some of the excitement of the night. It’s well worth going to see them!

HNLMS Dolfijn Visits Cork
2003, Boat, Cork, Cork Harbour, Horgan's Quay, Ireland, Photo, Photography, quay, River Lee, Sony 717, Street Photography, submarine
In 2003, the Dutch submarine, Dolfijn, or Dulfun, visited Cork for a few days. I happened to be around town and spotted it from Kennedy Quay where I’d been photographing the ships, buildings and machinery.
When it left Cork, it headed to Mallorca. September in Cork is nice, but I wouldn’t mind a few days there in October!

Winthrop Street Dug Up
In early 2005, Winthrop Street was dug up and repaved. I really don’t like the modern surface. Part of it feels slippery, and the middle section is uncomfortable to walk on. Anyone else?

The October ’24 Aurora
2024, aurora, Blarney, Cork, Ireland, Long Exposure, Photo, Photography, Samyang AF 24mm F2.8 FE, Sony A7RV, waterloo
Yesterday, I noticed that Henry was warning us (in Blarney Photography Club) that there was likely going to be a great display of aurora borealis that night. I’m recovering from a cold, so I was just going to stay in and watch TV, which I did. Nothing was going to get me out into the cold night.
I woke up this morning around 2am and saw a message from my sister where she sent on a fabulous photo of the aurora in the sky over her home. Already feeling FOMO, that was the last straw and I got out of bed and drove down to the River Martin walk to photograph the sky silhouetted by the hills on either side. I hoped there would be some sort of reflection in the water of the pool, but it wasn’t strong enough.
I should have gone home then, but I’m glad I drove up to Waterloo Church and you can see some of the photos I took there too.
The temperature had dropped from 2.5C to 0.5C in the time I was out and my camera battery had gone from 57% to 0%, and a torch battery had succumbed to the cold too.
To my eyes, I could see a green glow, but the pink and purple were only really visible in the photos. I could make out the red in the sky behind the church, though. A remarkable display.
There’s a good chance of more aurora tonight. I need to lie down now for a nap. zzzz

A Busker in February

On a quiet February day in 2019 I walked down Winthrop Street and saw this busker strumming his guitar.

The Sherkin Boat
If you walk over to Cow Strand on Sherkin Island, you’ll come across this boat, maybe. At least in 2015 you would have. It might be gone by now.
Take a look at Google Maps. I think that’s this boat.

Horses on Sherkin Island
We were visiting Sherkin Island in 2015 when I saw a rider pulling another horse along with him. This was on Cow Strand, but I’d seen him riding on Silver Strand earlier in the day. A lovely, warm, August day just before school was about to start again.

A Stag and his hinds
I visited the National Park in Killarney, Co Kerry, today to photograph the deer with other members of Blarney Photography Club, and a few friends.
There weren’t many stags or deer to be seen, apart from in a field up a hill beyond the Castlerosse Park Resort golf course. We found this stag near the Torc Waterfall side of Muckross House. No other stags nearby, they were all calm and relaxed. I think the stag was slightly worried about the silly humans pointing long lenses at him from some 300m away. He needn’t have worried.
