Rush-hour traffic in Cork is as bad as in any other city. I went the other way and took the back road to Blarney.

Road Narrows
Taken in Monkstown, Co. Cork last night.
Camera was handheld. I waited for a car to go past and with the camera set to AV mode and the flash on, I shot a 25 second exposure. I moved the camera from side to side to make the rear lights of the vehicle moreinteresting!
Added a cloud layer in post processing and set the layer mode to “subtract” to give the signs that nice weathered look.
Swans in darkness
Swans pictured at The Lough last night.
Red Sky At Night
Red sky after a beautiful sunset in Garrettstown last Sunday.
The original high-res version is even better!
Us on the tower
Painted with the light of a torch on a round tower in a local church yard late at night. If you look carefully you can even see stars in the sky! This page has some information about that tower:
The round tower in Waterloo (approx. 1 mile from Blarney) … … was built in the 1800’s by Fr. Matt Horgan, the then parish priest of Blarney.
