The Landlady of the Lava Fields

Youghal’s Wooden Sentinels
Groynes in the sand as the water rushes away to do battle with another wave coming in. The ever-present push and pull of the tide, defeated for some time at least by these wooden posts. Aperture ƒ/7.1 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 2s

Climbing into the Clouds
Two days of unbroken Cork sunshine had to end somewhere, and they ended like this. I was in the posh Dunnes in Bishopstown and when I came out the sunny sky became a brooding wall of cloud piling up overhead just as a jet lifted off. From the ground it looked tiny, but that’s distance…

Stanley Super 800 Light Up the Savoy
Friday night at the Savoy, and the place was buzzing. Joe of the band Fred opened things up solo. It was just him, an acoustic, a red tee and a flat cap, perched in front of a wall of Orange amps that looked far too big for one man and a guitar. Lovely, stripped-back stuff.…
