A woman on her phone looks over her shoulder at some commotion, off camera, that has caught her attention. We’ll never know what.

Mirrors at Cyprus Avenue
We went to see Mirrors, a local Cork band, play at Cyrpus Avenue, on Friday night. Wow. What a sound. The crowd loved them!
Check out Echoes, one of their songs, on YouTube.

The National Space Centre at night
A few of us visited the National Space Centre in Elfordstown in Co. Cork the other night to make some photos, and maybe photograph the Aurora if possible.
No sign of the aurora, but the Space Center is a sight to see itself.
Thanks Henry, for organising the trip! Check out his amazing photo of the location.

Tree Silhouette Sunset
Trees create silhouettes against the setting sun in West Cork this afternoon. The grand auld stretch of thirteen minutes and fifty-five seconds was very noticeable.

An umbrella in the rain
Sometimes all you need is an umbrella. When it’s raining, it’s the best thing.

The Lights to the Church
Christmas lights line a wall heading to Abbeystrewry Church in Skibereen, Co Cork. Brightening up a dull, overcast, day with a cheery glow.

Sweep away the old year
2023 is almost over here in Ireland. How’s 2024 in Australia? Let’s say goodbye to what has been a mixed year and hope for a better 2024.
Happy new year!
Edit a short while later: I shouldn’t have asked about Australia. They’re suffering from a terrible heatwave of 49.5℃!

Lionel Richie hates this one trick
There’s no ceiling on this building. For the younger reader, watch. 🙂
This long derelict building in Skibereen is an unfortunate eyesore that’s surrounded by a lively town, and shops and buildings decorated for the Christmas season. It stands opposite the entrance to the lovely Abbeystrewry Church and nearby Aldi.
I went back in time through Google Street View, and it has been abandoned and derelict since at least 2009! What a waste.

Glowing Light on Warren Strand
Some time after sunset this evening on Warren Strand, Co Cork. The clouds blowing in brought rain with them, thus putting a stop to any further photographic adventures.
What is the glow? That’s my phone light shining on the incoming tide. The sharp turn to the right was me noticing the water had unexpectedly come in faster and the legs of my camera tripod were now submerged in a few centimetres of water. I had to wait for the water to recede before I could grab my camera and bring it to safety.
