I have an orange t-shirt, but it’s not this lovely bright orange. I love that it matches the orange of the building, and then I noticed afterwards that he’s wearing light blue shorts! It’s orange and blue all the way down!

One of the statues at Castlemartyr Resort was this one of a woman swinging off the crescent Moon. It was quite striking and imaginative.

Over the weekend I stayed in a B&B on Sheep’s Head in Co. Cork and of course I had to photograph the sunset from the headland. I shared another photo taken on the same night recently, but I’ve photographed the sunset in this part of the world several times. I wasn’t expecting much as there…

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!

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.

Light pours through a gap in the clouds, illuminating the waters between Sheep’s Head and the Beara Peninsula.

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.

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,…

The skeleton of Páirc Úi Chaoimh before it was rebuilt reveals the Blackrock end of the stadium.

On South Gate Bridge last summer, I spotted flowers growing from between the stones of the structure. Google Images says they’re Red Valerian, but I don’t know. They were thriving in their little spot, but I think they’re gone now as the bridge was cleaned in the recent past. Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral is of…
