  • Lifebelt in the grass


    Lifebelt in the grass

    A lifebelt lay in the grass at a beach on the Dingle Peninsula, Co. Kerry last September. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, beautiful clouds contrasted with the deep blue of the sky and a light breeze blew off the sea.

    We were just going back to the car after a nice stroll on the beach. I had just taken footprints in the sand down on the beach when I looked back one more time and saw this striking scene in front of me.

    The clouds were perfect, the sun was shining on the beach, the far away hills were in shadow and light. Perfect moment!

    I shot this by placing the camera on the railing of the bridge behind me.

    Pedestrian Zone

    Many of the side streets off St. Patrick’s Street in Cork are now pedestrian zones. In fact, Oliver Plunkett Street is closed off to traffic on Saturdays too which is great for shoppers.

    Check out Donal’s latest photos from his trip to Lesotho. The second group portrait is particularly good!

  • MEH! No Parking!


    MEH! No Parking!

    Ah graffiti! That most visible of teenage expression on our streets and walls.

    Anyway, I can’t remember where I took this. It could be one of the side streets off St. Patrick’s Street, but that’s about as vague as “somewhere in Cork” to be honest.

    It was a gorgeous beautiful day last September. The sky was blue and dotted with clouds and the sun shone brightly.

  • Bloggable Flickr Slideshow

    Here’s a neat way of embedding Flickr’s slideshow feature in your own blog. flickrSLiDR asks you for a set in your Flickr stream and then gives you some html code to paste into your blog post.

    He’s cheating a small bit though. He’s using Flickr’s own slideshow application and simply passing the right parameters to it. Take a look at the code at the end of this post to see for yourself!

    Here’s a slideshow of my WordCamp 2006 photos. I’m looking forward to the next one in SF in July!

    Oops. And just after publishing this post I realise that it’s a bad thing to post a Flash application that loads lots of photos so you have to click into this post to see the slideshows. They won’t show when in archive mode. Phew.

    Guinness

    Guinness, world famous stout brewed in Dublin, Ireland. It’s also the tipple every tourist to the country samples but I prefer beer myself! 🙂

    This is a sign on a pub on Bridge Street. It’s the one on the corner near Vibes and Scribes. What’s it called?

    On dad’s shoulders

    A boy grins with delight after the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cork this year. And why wouldn’t he? He’s sitting tall over everyone else!
    Larry Tompkins bar is in the background. It was packed with the day’s crowd.

    PS. The May issue of Digital Journalist has been out for a few days. I’m only now getting to look at it. Maybe. Adam is crying in the background. afk again!

  • Pathway to Gallarus


    Pathway to Gallarus

    If you visit the Dingle Peninsula you must visit the Gallarus Oratory. It’s an early Christian church, possibly built in the 6th century. There is a visitor centre but don’t be fooled into paying the entrance fee. The building is a national monument and the public have a right to see it. Your entrance fee does pay for a crummy video in a dark and musty room but to be honest it’s not worth it! Continue up the road and you’ll find a path leading directly to the church.
    Your taxes pay for the upkeep of the building so why pay another charge to see it?

    The Irish Photographers Website reports,

    An Irish freelance photographer was recovering in hospital today after being wounded during fighting in Afghanistan. John McHugh had been in the country for the New York Times embedded with US troops in Kunar province in the east of the country. It is understood he was with US forces when they came under mortar fire on Sunday evening. He suffered shrapnel wounds to his body and was airlifted to Baghran air base for treatment. His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. Several US troops were also injured in the attack.
