Chromatic Whirl
A few photos taken in Crosshaven in May 2023 when I visited there with Blarney Photography Club. A bit of fun with swirling the camera around as I took the photos.

Skateboarding Break in Cork
Two skateboarders on Grand Parade in Cork, away back in 2021. The guy sitting down was wrecked tired by the looks of him.

Symmetrical Abandonment
This was the derelict site of the demolished tax office in Cork, but back in February 2019. What difference 6 years? Nothing really except they’ve removed the rubble. It’s still an ugly eye sore. They really should have put a park there if they’re not going to do anything with it.

Get to know your neighbour
Sitting on that bench must be awkward, or you’d have to be very friendly with whoever you’re sitting next to.

Milky Way Over the Costa Brava
In July 2022, I was in Llafranc and wondered if I’d be able to photograph the Milky Way. Dark skies maps of the area showed glowing lights all along the coast, and it seemed unlikely, but I wandered down to the beach one night to try. I was pleased with the result because there was…

A Hotel on the Rocks
A hotel on the coast of Tenerife on Playa de Ajabo looks out on the Atlantic as waves batter the rocks underneath. They’re turned into mist by a long exposure photo in this evening shot, about 20 minutes after the sun has set.

Good luck getting around them in a monstrosity like the Cybertruck however.

The Silesian Insurgents’ Monument
The Silesian Insurgents’ Monument in Katowice, Poland stands next to a roundabout and a large building called KTW and The Spodek. KTW was only completed in 2022, and if you look at the city in Google Maps you’ll see a construction site there. The monument was erected in 1967.

A Siamese Stroll
I spotted this stunning Siamese Cat in the town of Garachico in Tenerife recently. He was wandering across the street near the Plaza Juan González de la Torre. Despite my calling him, he just walked on up the street, ignoring me, but he did give one look back as he walked past some rubbish bins,…

The Anonymous Suit
An anonymous man in a suit at the Dingle Races a few years ago. I’m pretty sure he was sucking a lollipop.

Hay Bales at Dusk
In a field behind Wine Strand on the Dingle Peninsula, I spotted some hay bales. The sun had already set, but the sky wasn’t very interesting. The lay of the land cast an interesting shadow and I like photographing bales whenever I see them.
