  • Blarney Castle at sunset

    Blarney Castle can be seen above the trees of the surrounding area as the sun set last Thursday evening. Blarney Photography Club took the opportunity of a lovely evening to walk around the village and nearby to photograph the area. This photo is, of course, taken from Ring Wood, off Station Road.

    Did you know that membership of Blarney Photography Club is now open to all (over 18s)? The new season starts in September and the club is holding an open night on September 5th at the local secondary school. Doors open at 7:30pm. I’ll be there, as will other members of the club. The famous Beginners and Improvers Photography Course will start the following week, and the 8-week course is great value at only €75. You’ll also become a member of the club, so you’ll be welcome to our weekly meetings, outings, competitions, practical sessions and more.

    Visit the Club open night web page for further details!

  • Chihuahuas with lights

    A man walking his two chihuahuas on a wide pedestrianised street. The two dogs are chihuahuas and they have lights on them. A woman nearby admires them while people walk by and cycle by in the distance. A Mickey Mouse greets people in the background.

    A man walks his two chihuahuas through the centre of Valencia. The two dogs had flashing lights on them, attracting lots of attention from people walking past.

    I thought it was risky having two chihuahuas off the lead in a busy city centre, but the two dogs were calm and enjoying the walk.

  • The sands of Maghera Beach

    I took a few photos while wandering around Maghera Beach one beautiful August afternoon in 2017. There are so many beautiful beaches in Donegal!

  • The Santa Barbara Courthouse Mural Room

    A view of the mural room, with seating in front, and a stage with furniture. The murals adorn the walls showing the sometimes inaccurate history of the state.

    The windows of the mural room look on to the benches of the room. 100 year old curtains line the windows and the walls are covered in murals.

    Visiting the Mural Room in the Courthouse of Santa Barbara was a treat I was not expecting. The murals depict the history of the region, sometimes inaccurately, as they include Peter Pan, Robin Hood and Errol Flynn!

  • Swirling at Light Speed

    A ride at the funfair in Dingle swirls around at speed. A long exposure photo captures the movement of a long moment, not an instant of time.

  • I’m shopping in the rain

    I’m shopping in the rain, just shopping in the rain,
    what a glorious feeling, I’m happy again!

    Well, I hope she got something nice in H&M.

  • The train tracks of Birkenau

    The train tracks of Birkenau concentration camp in Poland lead off to the front gate. The camp is only a 5 minute bus journey from Auschwitz, along a road bordered by a train track. It’s surreal passing by homes, businesses and people walking about living their lives next to these places.

    Tourists gather around the building, listening to their tour guides.

  • TRANS RIGHTS, BABY

    A woman holds a sign saying, "MAMMIES FOR TRANS RIGHTS"

    People on a bus in the parade. Someone holds the transgender flag over the side of the bus while someone else waves a bright pink flag out.

    I loved to see all the support for transgender rights at the Cork Pride Parade last weekend.

    Mammies for Transgender Rights can be found on Instagram here.

  • Hussey’s Folly caught in the light

    Hussey’s Folly at the mouth of Dingle Harbour as it was caught by the rays of the sun. This was almost exactly four years ago, at the height of the Covid pandemic.

    Apparently, Covid levels are just as high now and the latest strain is quite nasty too. It will always be with us. 🙁

  • The Cork Pride Flag

    One of the (many) highlights of the Cork Pride parade is the massive rainbow flag that accompanies the marchers through the city. It was unfurled on Grand Parade where a jubilant crowd carried it and waved it in preparation for the trip around the city. I noticed a bump in the middle, and saw the reason underneath. 🙂
