Temple of Poseidon, Sounion

The Temple of Poseidon in Sounion, south of Athens in Greece is an imposing structure, believed to have been built around 700BC.

It’s a tourist attraction now, attracting people from all over the world, as well as school trips for kids from all over the region.

Kennedy Quay in Cork in February 2024 before the R&H Hall building was demolished. Look to the right, and you’ll see Albert Quay and the new buildings there. This whole area will look quite different in only a few years.

A near miss on the water

I captured a near miss when I made this long exposure shot of a canal in Amsterdam. Two boats were heading towards each, and it was only by gunning the engines of the one that went under the bridge on the right that they missed each other. People on board must have watched nervously, but it all turned out OK in the end.

The photo was taken just about here on Google Maps at the junction of Keizersgracht and Leidsegracht. The first night I walked past, the lights had been turned off as we were out too late but the next night was worth the walk there.

Sunset at Ventura Pier

The waves roll in on the beach at Ventura Beach while the pier extends out into the sea. The pier was damaged in storms and closed in early 2023, but still made for a great subject at sunset.

I have so many photos of this pier from that night. I’ll be posting photos of it again over the next year or two.
