  • They’re watching you!

    A man leans on a shop window, carrying a massive birthday card. Inside the shop, seven mannequins with faces heads watch out the window.

    The mannequins are watching you, you know? Look away and they move! Don’t blink!

  • Parisian Tourists

    On a road leading to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Tourists line in the middle of the road, in relative safety from passing cars, but other tourists stop and take photos with their phones.

    Tourists flock on to the road near the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

    Admittedly, I was one of them, but I was just walking across the road at the pedestrian lights.

    Two of the dogs at the regular rally supporting Gaza that happened in Cork yesterday. Another large crowd gathered, but these dogs weren’t bothered by the noise and people around.

  • Feeling Slightly Disjointed

    A couple look at themselves in the angled mirror facade of a building in Paris. Their legs are separated from their torsos by the reflection.

    The mirrors of 123 Champs-Élysées reflect a broken view of the world, making passers-by smile and laugh.

  • Human imitates statue

    A woman sitting next to a statue unintentionally imitates the statue by resting her arm on the block the statue sits on.

    The Jeunesse d’Aristote is a statue made by Charles Degeorge and is currently in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

    Sometimes, we humans, unintentionally imitate others, even inanimate objects. Or maybe it’s just a comfortable way to sit. Degeorge captured that amazingly well in his work here.

  • Armed Soldiers patrol around Montmartre

    Four soldiers walk up the steps of Montmarte. People are relaxing nearby and the Basilica can be seen at the top of the hill.

    Four soldiers climb the steps of Montmartre up to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre on a warm August afternoon. They slowly walked up the steps, without comment or conversation. Walked around the fountains above and up the steps to the Basilica.

    It was unnerving, but months later, tourists were being stabbed and violently robbed in Dublin, and I remember people were calling for better security on the streets of the city. Some used Paris as an example and asked why armed soldiers couldn’t patrol the streets.

    I think a better way of solving this issue is to make Dublin into a proper living city, with actual local people living in the city, not tourists in an Airbnb. Some chance.

    David McWilliams called it, “People Before Bonnet” in the latest episode of his podcast. Worth a listen.

  • Quickly on the flat hill

    A woman in a yellow top, and dark shorts walks up a hill laid horizontal, with a yellow wall behind, and barred windows.

    When is a hill flat? It’s much easier to walk along, that’s for sure.

  • The Ballincollig Regional Park Weir

    Water flows over a weird in the River Lee with trees visible on the bank, a bridge crossing in the background and poles visible in the far background.

    The weir in Ballincollig Regional Park collapsed in 2014, but this photo was taken many years before that, in 2003. Repairs to the weird have been delayed over and over again, unfortunately.

  • We thought the summer rain was bad..

    A man with a walking stick prepares to lower his umbrella as another man comes out of a nearby shop.

    Remember when people thought the rain in late July and August 2023 was bad? What about Storm Isha yesterday, eh? Another storm on the way too.

    The start of June was blisteringly hot. It was so hot I preferred to stay inside out of it. Nobody seems to remember that.

    Oh, the photo above is obviously not recent. It’s last August, during the wet spell.

  • Ian Bailey and The West Cork Way

    Ian Bailey at a stall in a market with the title of his book, The West Cork Way, on the front of it. He is talking to a man and a woman. The man is holding a lead with a small terrier dog.

    Ian Bailey, the man accused of murdering a French woman, Sophie Toscan du Plantier, died today. Here he is in 2019, when he was selling his book, “The West Cork Way”, at a market in Skibereen.

  • Hair’s the wig shop

    I wonder what was going through this woman’s mind as she looked at the wigs on display in this shop in Valencia, Spain.

  • The Fiery Red Tree

    A sculpture of a tree sits atop a high stone tower, with a starry sky behind.

    Atop a high stone tower in Clogheenmilcon Sanctuary Walk, near Blarney, is a sculpture of a tree. It was created by sculptor, Don Cronin and is impossible to miss if you’re walking in the sanctuary.

    This was taken last night when temperatures had dropped to -4.5ºC. I didn’t stay out very long, but braver souls from Blarney Photography Club did!
