  • City Hall in Green

    Cork City Hall at night, and it's lit up in green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The river reflects the colour of the building.
    The colours of Cork City Hall and surrounding lights are captured in an out of focus image. The colours are reflected in the River Lee.

    Cork City Hall is lit up in green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day today. We went out on Thursday night to photograph it and I decided to get something different by shooting an out of focus image

  • A tourist stares

    A woman stares at the tram I'm travelling on, unaware that I'm taking her photo. She is dressed warmly as it is November, and even in Lisbon it gets chilly.

    The tram trundles past and people stare at it, unaware I have captured the moment. Lisbon, November 2023.

  • The Atlantic Pond in Reflection

    Trees are reflected in the water of the Atlantic Pond in Cork. The water is very still, and a clear blue sky is unblemished by clouds.

    I love walking by the Marina and sometimes walking around the Atlantic Pond. Most of the water was deliciously calm this afternoon when I visited.

  • Starry Night Sky

    Stars pop and light pollution shows in the sky while the foreground trees and bushes are silhouetted. Poles carrying wires too.

    After photographing the National Space Centre on a dark January evening I turned around and spotted this silhouette. Luckily, there wasn’t much of a wind blowing, but we were lucky. A chill wind blew in a few minutes later.

  • The Idle Hour on Albert Quay

    Various buildings on Albert Quay in Cork are reflected in the River Lee one early morning just after sunrise when the sky is coloured by the rising the sun.

    Well, the Idle Hour, Navigation Square, 1 Albert Quay and the other pubs along Victoria Road.

    This was taken one morning early, just after the sun rose. I’ve taken this photo a few times over the years and I love the reflection in the River Lee, at high tide, like the buildings are floating at sea.

  • Long shadows at sunset

    A street at sunset from above. A person walks in the light of the setting sun, casting a long shadow behind them. Another figure walks up the road, while a group of people are on a path to the right. Lots of parked cars and the brake lights of a car on the right are visible as it is on a hill.

    Lovely golden light casts long shadows on a street in Lisbon.

  • Flowers of the Eiffel Tower

    The EIffel Tower in the distance while at ground level are lovely flowers and plants.

    When you visit the Eiffel Tower, you’ll see the massive Jardin de la Tour Eiffel stretch off into the distance. In warm weather, the gardens are thronged with people in the evenings who gather to watch the Eiffel Tower light up.

    This photo was shot on one such evening. The night was calm, and warm and it was lovely to be out.

  • An entertaining dog

    A small, white dog looks at the camera. He's wearing a colourful coat while people walk past behind him.

    There are lots of little dogs around Cork City these days, and they wear cute little coats against the rain and cold.

  • Lost in Paris

    Someone sits on a rock bench, lost in a book, while in the background a woman in white seems lost in the courtyard of the Panthéon, Paris.

    A long figure seems lost in the courtyard of the Panthéon in Paris, while another sits on a rock bench lost in a book. An actual, honest to goodness, paper book.

  • A little doggy in her coat

    A small white dog with a coat on looking at the camera. Her owner has him on a pink lead. Her owners' foot and leg are also visible, and they're standing in front of a jeweller's shop.

    I don’t remember what this dog’s name was, but she was so cute I asked her human dad if I could photograph her. No petting was allowed as she is the typical small dog and isn’t fond of strangers rubbing her. Not surprising really. Would you like giants rubbing your head?

  • Alone in the crowd

    A man sits at a table surrounded by other tables with people at them. He is alone, facing an empty chair.

    Momentarily alone in a crowd at the Dingle Races a few years ago.

  • A Modern Sky

    Looking up next to a building with coloured stripes to the left, and an apartment block to the right. Blue sky with light cloud in the middle.

    Walking past the Museum Brandhorst in Munich and I noticed the pleasing lines of the museum and the repeating pattern of the flats next door.
