  • 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

    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. 🙂

  • The Commandant’s House

    The Commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, lived in the large house at the end of this road. It sits right outside the concentration camp where so many people were put to death, but a family lived here, and they are the subject of a 2023 movie, The Zone of Interest.

    When I visited the camp last week, the guide made an offhand remark while pointing in the direction of a locked gate, saying, “That’s where the camp commandant lived with his family.” My group were on our way to Gas Chamber 1, so nobody went to look, but I stuck my camera over the gate and recorded a photo of an ordinary street with parked cars outside a red brick building and the family home further down. Watch the trailer of the movie, and you’ll recognise the shape of the roof in the background. Gave me chills.
