The Pacific Park in the Sea
Santa Monica Pier stretches out into the sea, but halfway out is a funfair including a roller coaster and ferris wheel, of all things. On a sunny day it’s a sight to behold. The place is thronged with people too! Aperture ƒ/9 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 24mm ISO 400 Shutter speed 1/500s

Carrigdrohid on the Lee
The castle at Carrigdrohid, as seen from across the river from my previous photo of the castle a few days ago. I was almost in the river taking this shot, following in the steps of Mark Gorman who waded in further and made a superb shot of the castle. Aperture ƒ/16 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length…

Passenger Bikes
Motorbikes wait at the traffic lights at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens. Bikes were popular in the city, with riders weaving in and out of slow-moving four wheeled traffic. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 24mm ISO 800 Shutter speed 1/500s

Cows at the sea
Cows on the rocks near the sea on Sheep’s Head. Looks like one of them is enjoying the view of the water. Nice day for fishing ain’t it! Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 57mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/320s

Teampol na mBocht, Altar
A Church of Ireland church near Schull, in Co. Cork, is set in scenic landscape beside Toormore Bay. We drove past, and I saw it was surrounded by a sea of wildflowers, mostly oxeye daisies, and also dandelions. On our return from Crookhaven I vowed to stop and spend half an hour there taking photos.…

Sunset at Carrigadrohid
The castle at Carrigadrohid stands on a rock in the middle of the River Lee, adjoining a bridge, giving the local village it’s name, after the Irish, Carraig an Droichid, meaning ‘rock of the bridge’. (Wikipedia) I’d never been before, but I went with Blarney Photography Club to photograph this scenic location last night. Luckily,…

Hungry Horse
The horses in the field adjoining Castlemartyr Resort were a curious bunch when Blarney Photography Club visited last week, when they came over to us for a chat and a sniff of our cameras. This one threw all caution to the wind and just kept eating, ignoring me, and enjoying his best life. Rightly so,…

A cat in the shadows
Two buckets are no match for an ephemeral cat in the shadows as it played with the light of the setting sun at Castlemartyr Resort last week. The shadow of the cat is courtesy of the cat statue I posted recently. Again, well worth going down to see them, and for a stroll around the…

The seaweed bicycle
I spotted a bike for hire that must have been dumped in the river for quite some time before being returned to the lock area. It was underwater so long that seaweed grew on it and tiny seashells grew on the pedal! I presume it’ll be picked up, and hopefully cleaned up or recycled. Aperture…
