A European Starling in Dún Laoghaire
A starling perched on a railing in the seaside town of Dún Laoghaire watches the goings-on in the nearby café. Pickings will be slim today as the establishment is being renovated and is not serving customers today! Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 240mm ISO 320 Shutter speed 1/500s

The boats of Graiguenamanagh
I haven’t been to Graiguenamanagh in Kilkenny very often, which is unfortunate as it’s a pretty town, but here’s a photo of some of the boats tied up on the river there from quite some time ago. Aperture ƒ/10 Camera Canon EOS 6D Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/200s

Mom and Calf

Palestinian Flags on the Street
After the Pro Palestinian march walked past and down Oliver Plunkett Street in Cork. There is so much anger at what the Israeli army is doing in Gaza. How can anyone in their right mind support Netanyahu and his Government after all they’ve done? Hamas are terrorists, but Israel bombing cities and homes and hospitals…

Ladies Cycling Happily
In what seems like an eternity now, I photographed these ladies cycling along Eastcheap in London in June 2021. Hey, guess it gets you out in the fresh(ish) air and doing exercise before maybe going for a drink, or a lie down (zzzzz, too much exercise), later on.

The South Main Street Construction Site
The hoarding surrounding Bishop Lucey Park in Cork fits in with the construction site that is South Main Street currently. You’d have to wonder why did they bother putting up hoarding at all? All along the street, they’re working on it and even down Tuckey Street too. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO…

The Captain likes Diet Coke
Wearing a cap that says “Capitan”, and dressed as he is in shorts and then in a warm jumper, I had to photograph him as he stood outside McDonald’s on Daunt Square. I’m not sure what his name is, but I’ve seen him around Cork a few times since taking this photo last year. Aperture…

No Trolley Problem
Ah, so, what’s the craic with the shopping trolleys in Cork supermarkets, you ask? Well, let me tell ya, they’re as much a part of the shopping experience as the Barry’s Tea in your basket. In Cork, like elsewhere, shopping trolleys are a staple in supermarkets, making the whole shopping experience a bit more manageable.…
