Pine Island in Black and White
Pine Island in Connemara, Co Galway. On the day I took this photo the driver of a nearby car misjudged their parking spot and ended up with their back wheels spinning. After a few panicked moments they did manage to find the ground and sped away.
Street Musicians on Patrick Street
You’re more likely to see a street preacher or the guy with the “global harming” sign near this spot on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork. Back in 2004 we were treated to some guitar and banjo playing.

Bird Flying High

The old house by the Castle
If you’ve been to Blarney recently you won’t have seen this house. It was cleared several years ago and is now an open stretch of grass, and new wooden buildings used by the staff of Blarney Castle. February 2015.
Queue for the bus on St. Patrick’s Quay
The bus stops on St. Patrick’s Quay are being moved to various locations around the city disrupting the future travel arrangements of people who use them. You used to be able to get a bus from west Cork to the city, walk to the next bus stop and hop on a bus to Dublin but…
Night Club Fantasy
Not much use for a night club in the middle of a blistering hot day in Tenerife.
Yellow and Blue
We’ve seen a lot of the Ukraine flag in the last few months following the invasion of that country by Russia. Before that I didn’t realise the wall facing the Centra in Dingle had the same colours. Looking the worse for wear and not the right shades of course.
Books in Bristol
A book stall in Bristol, by the river. Some good stuff here!
