The Violinist and his audience
I was in town this afternoon and walking up Oliver Plunkett Street, came across Ryan Parsons, a very talented violinist busking on the street. A sizeable crowd gathered around behind me, enjoying the music. The gentleman in the background of this photo was evidentially enjoying the music too, waving his hand in time with the…

Hussey’s Folly overlooking Dingle Harbour
Hussey’s Folly, a small two-storey castle overlooks Dingle Harbour. I couldn’t find much about it online, but I did see that it was built in 1845. It’s now in ruins, with the doorways blocked, but it’s a nice place to visit. Before Fungie disappeared, we went up here to look out for him a few…

The Colours of Sunset
The last week has been fairly wet, with cloudy skies, so I thought an ICM of a sunset sky would brighten up the day. Another one that was taken just outside my home. The black parts are the roofs of nearby homes. Aperture ƒ/18 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 240mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/2.5s

Curious Cows
Blarney is surrounded by fields, and up a country road from where I live you’ll find farm animals in the fields. It’s mostly cows, and when I approached a gate of one such field, the curious cows came over to watch this strange human on a bicycle. Aperture ƒ/1.7 Camera Galaxy S23 Ultra Focal length…

Lodge 234
I was surprised to see the Masonic Square and Compass logo on a weathered door in Kinsale a few weeks ago. Luckily there’s no public park next door where they can buy a plot of land to extend the building for €1 like they did in Cork City. CORK city councillors have voted to dispose…
