The Daily Commuter
While waiting for the train in Athens, I spotted a pigeon walking around the station, calm as you can imagine, as if he owned the place. A few minutes later, a train rolled in, passengers started moving, and the pigeon flew into the rafters. Observing all that he rules. Aperture ƒ/2.8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length…

The Cat in the big smoke
There’s something delightfully peculiar about finding a cat on a lead. I spotted these two characters taking a break near Camden Town in London. The scene just screamed to be photographed. The smoke caught in the sunlight and the cat’s nonchalant pose, how could I resist? It’s a candid shot, of course, and as the…

Parking Bay Oops
Looks like someone wasn’t that careful parking here. The poor parking sign is doing an imitation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Happy new year to you, dear reader. I’ve been posting photos here for twenty years this year. My first image, this yellow flower, is only 700px wide, but with the advent of high-resolution…

A visit to the Acropolis of Athens
If you visit the Acropolis in Athens, be prepared to join the crowds of other tourists visiting at the same time. There’s an insatiable interest in the area, of course, because it’s so well known. First you walk up the side of the Acropolis hill, and enjoy nice views of the city, including the Odeon…

Disco Forest Fantasia
Exactly a month ago, I ventured out with Blarney Photography Club to see Wonderlights at Fota House. The grounds were transformed into something straight out of a cyberpunk fairy tale.

Edinburgh’s Feathered Monuments
There’s something magical about Edinburgh during the golden hour, when the sun begins its descent and bathes the city in warm amber hues. I was walking along Princes Street with my colleagues after a long day of meetings when this scene stopped me in my tracks. At first glance, it might seem like just another…

Spires and Rides
St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral and one of the cars of the big wheel on Grand Parade at sunset several years ago. Must have been a really nice view from the top of the big wheel! Aperture ƒ/8 Camera Canon EOS 6D Focal length 133mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/50s

Christmas Rush Hour in Cork
There’s never a bus when you want one, and suddenly four come along when you least expect it. A very busy Bridge Street in Cork last week with commuters on the way home. Aperture ƒ/6.3 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 169mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/8s

Urban Dreams in Bokeh
The blurred Christmas lights along St. Patrick Street and Cook Street transform into a dreamy tapestry of golden and multicoloured bokeh, creating a magical backdrop above a person wearing a studded black beanie and glasses near Opera Lane. Nollaig shona duit! Hope you had a nice day today if you celebrate! Aperture ƒ/6.3 Camera ILCE-7RM5…

Cork’s Christmas Commotion
Nollaigh Shona Dhaoibh go léir! Now that no more shopping is possible, maybe we can return to normality. Of course, in cold and dreary January, we might look back with nostalgic eyes at the bright lights, decorations, and all the stress excitement.
