For a crust
A European Starling plays with a crust of toast in Dún Laoghaire a few weeks ago. This one might even be the same bird I photographed recently, but the local café was open again and so there was food on the menu for the birds. 🙂 Aperture ƒ/6.3 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 240mm ISO 200…

Wisdom Visits Cork
In 2018, a ship called WISDOM visited Cork. Which is odd because this site says the ship was renamed, “Jasmine Scan”, in 2012. Apparently, it’s now called “WARTHOG” and bears a striking orange colour that’ll be hard to miss. If you were ever nostalgic for the old R&H Hall building, it’s here too. Must be…

The curves of the Sacré-Cœur
The curves and textures of the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre in Paris are evident in this close up photo of the roof. I love how the curves flow, and the patterns repeat. Aperture ƒ/4.9 Camera Galaxy S23 Ultra Focal length 27.2mm ISO 50 Shutter speed 1/540s
