Tree in shadow
A tree in the grounds of Blarney Castle. Yesterday morning there was a glorious sunrise, this morning it was horrible. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!
Just a beautiful evening in San Diego
I arrived in San Diego a few hours ago and the first thing I noticed when I got into my hotel room was the amazing view of the Pacific Ocean. This doesn’t do it justice as the foreground is a little too dark but I wanted to get it uploaded with minimum fuss so here…
The London Eye
While on my way to Iceland a few months ago I had about 10 hours to kill while in London. Thankfully John Godley collected me at the airport and gave me a quick tour of the city centre! I got loads of photos of the London Eye, here’s one of them.
Four Points Cadiz
Cadiz is a city and port in the Iberian Peninsula in Spain. The centre of the city is filled with old alleys and narrow streets. Here’s I shot straight upwards at the junction of 4 such alleys, I think it was here near the local cathedral. Many years ago I took a similar photo of…
Is that an axe?
A statue of Leif Ericsson stands in front of the Church of Hallgrimur, Reykjavik, Iceland.
Derelict Reykjavik Highrises
What I’ve seen of Reykjavik so far has been really nice. Buildings are colourful, the streets are for the most part well maintained and the city centre has cobbled streets so it’s pleasant to walk around. While on our photowalk today we passed these buildings on the sea front. I thought they were just another…
Old Shed in Camden Fort
Camden Fort near Crosshaven in Co Cork was part of a photowalk last Sunday and we visited Spike Island on Saturday, it was great visiting such historical sites. We were so lucky with the weather as the rain stayed off and Camden Fort on Sunday was bathed in strong sunlight! Both sites are still being…
Slea Head Statues
There’s a statue of Christ and associated figures on the cross at the top of Slea Head in County Kerry. I’m not sure who erected them but they’re a prominent part of the headland there. More photos: 1, 2, 3.
Old Wood and Yellow
The gorgeous Autumn colours contrast with the dark and rough texture of the old wood of a fence. Shot in Quebec of course.
Chemtrails and Clouds and Evening Sky
I’ve already covered the chemtrails conspiracy but they’re such a frequent and visible part of the sky that I have to shoot them sometimes. This was taken in Blarney, the trail is from a high flying plane going west to the USA. Arrangements for the photowalk on the 26th are surging ahead. Pat got in…
This is No. 26
Number 26, a house in Youghal, County Cork.
Innards of the Building
The old Dunnes Stores building on Patrick’s Street in Cork is keeping it’s old style and attractive front facade. Phew. I still think it’s odd how a building site juts out behind it though. PS. The nominations form for the Irish Blog Awards is now open. If you feel it deserves it, I’d be very…
