The waterfall of light

It was a very calm evening when we visited Mullinhassig last, and when I spotted the light coming through the leaves at the top of this photo I loved how it contrasted with the dark of the water below.

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is built on the slopes of the Acropolis. It must be stunning to view a stage performance there, but on this sunny afternoon it was empty, except for some people setting up cables, probably for a performance later that day.

Hidden History

A car parked on the pavement of a street at 190 Leof. Ionias in Athens, Greece. It’s half covered by sheets of plastic and cloth, but looking at Google Street View it appears to be there since at least 2022. Other cars have occupied this spot since at least 2009. That’s how far back that Street View goes.

Fireworks Lacking Colour

We waited hours for the fireworks on Spike Island yesterday and, of course, I have loads of photos of the event, which will be posted here in due course.

Here’s one photo, done a little differently, but I like the effect the lines of the fireworks in the air made in the air. Removing the colour simplifies them into the little fingers of flame reaching out in a quick instant.

Seaside Adventures with a Buggy

When the family is enjoying themselves, leave the buggy close by. A lovely day in Dún Laoghaire when Sandycove was thronged, but people made the most of the day, even if the area was a little rocky.

Bridge over little water

The Cloghnagash River in Carrignavar (Carraig na bhFear) flows under a bridge at one end of the village and is where I went exploring recently. While June had been cold and somewhat wet, the river wasn’t very high, and I was able to get down near the river itself afterwards to get a few more photos of the older bridge nearby that has 3 arches. A photo or two of that will appear at some stage.

There’s a nice park on the other side of this bridge and a pavement next to the river that was nice to walk along.
