The Baltimore Beacon
The Baltimore Beacon was the scene of a terrible tragedy on Tuesday when three people lost their lives in the sea there.
It emerged yesterday that the four-strong party — the other being Mr Ryan’s teenage daughter, Charlotte Davis Ryan — may have been fishing rather than walking when tragedy struck.
It is understood that Ms O’Connor may have been knocked into the water first by a wave, and Mr Davis Ryan went to save her.
It is understood that Mr Ryan asked then his daughter to raise the alarm, and that conscious of the lack of mobile phone signal in the area, she ran up the hill towards the Beacon, quickly borrowed a phone from some tourists and made the call. Valentia Coast Guard confirmed yesterday that the emergency call was made from a foreign mobile number.
By then, Mr Ryan had entered the water in an attempt to rescue his son and his girlfriend. The time between the emergency call being received at 6.36pm and the lifeboats arriving at the scene at 6.50pm and taking Mr Ryan and Ms O’Connor from the water was described as “seriously fast” by Valentia Coast Guard.

Water swirls at Myrtleville
A long exposure photo I took on Thursday night at Myrtleville with Blarney Photography Club. Unfortunately rain closed in after only half an hour or so and we were forced to leave early. Should have brought the umbrella out!

The Ghosts of Debenhams
Looks deserted doesn’t it? I shot this photo around 10am this morning with bustling traffic, pedestrians walking each direction, a girl on her phone standing in the entrance to Debenhams looking around. People waiting at the bus stop even.
Where are they gone? By taking around 20 shots of this scene and averaging out the differences all that was left was the building behind and some slight blurring around the bus stop.
Another one I shot of Brown Thomas didn’t work quite so well because I was using the bus stop as a DIY tripod and my camera moved during each frame but I do like the odd fuzzy feel of this image.
