Surreal Flowers in Dublin
A woman stands next to a display of flowers for sale in Dublin last October. I played with the colours here a little. A bit of fun on an image that was too noisy, and too dark.
The Eye Sees All
This graffiti caught my eye when I walked past. It was on the corner of Barrack Street and Fort Street in Cork. The eye sees you and the man screams at you. It’s long gone now, this photo was made in 2019!
The yellow glow of sunset
I walked out my front door last night and spotted a fiery sunset behind the houses across the road. The colour slowly changed over the next ten minutes as the sun sunk further and further beyond the horizon. I took 151 photos of the sky that night, most of them taken with me waggling my…
Fifty Shades of Mountain
Mountains on the German/Austria border stretch off in the distance as the Alps cut through this region of Europe.
The winds blows softly
On a lovely evening in August last year I was walking along a beach with my wife. The sun was getting low in the sky casting a faintly yellow glow over the world. This long exposure shot captures the movement of cloud, and the wind blown grass. Even though there wasn’t much wind, it’s all…
Streaks of Sunset Light
You may have seen the stunning sunset photo from Crosshaven that I shared yesterday. Well, here’s another shot of it for you. This one doesn’t look like a typical sunset, does it?

Sunset in Crosshaven

The Ice Cream Line
Parents line up for the ice cream van outside Fitzgerald’s Park in Cork. Their kids are somewhere nearby, out of sight behind the wall.
In the future we won’t talk at all
We just tap tap tap on the screens to order. The man watching me take the photo never said a word either. It was Halloween, did you notice the horns on her head?
Prepping for a 70th birthday
Two women carrying balloons and a large fake champagne bottle up the steps of a narrow lane. Bet they had a party that night!
Place your bets at the races
I’ve only been to a few point to point or other horse races, but you can rely on there being bookies present to take your money.
A doggy resting in the shade
A Jack Russell lying in the shade at the recent Dawstown Point-to-Point horse racing. It was warm, and the sun was bright, so he made a beeline for the shade afforded by his human dad standing nearby.
