  • 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!

  • The Lilac Hat on Tour

    A tour group listens to their guide. Many of the people are wearing hats and one person who is one of the few people in focus in this photo is wearing a nice lilac hat that caught my attention.

    A tour group in Malaga listens to a tour guide talk outside the cathedral. I liked the colour of the lilac hat in the foreground.

  • Missing the Sights

    A person with their head down looking at a phone. They're wrapped up warmly against the (IMO) mild October weather in Lisbon. Another man next to them looks off in another direction. They're standing on a pavement made of tiny square tiles in a decorative pattern.

    Mobile phones are handy, but you miss the world if you’re looking at them. My wife will laugh when she sees me say this.

  • Let it snow in Arizona

    Many years ago, on a cold January day in Arizona we came across a small yard where metal works were being sold. One of those was an unusual metal robot with a red and white hat on it’s head, saying “LET IT SNOW”.

    It didn’t snow, but it was cold at night!

  • Hussey’s Folly and the green fields

    On a lovely evening in August 2020, we were visiting Dingle in Co. Kerry. A walk out to Hussey’s Folly is always on the cards, I think this evening was the last time we saw Fungie too. He was swimming in the bay, just off shore, surrounded by boats, as he always was.

  • The Dragon Awakens

    The Dragon of Shandon ready to go on the parade, with a woman holding an umbrella looking at it. A single solitary street light provides illumination, apart from the soft light from nearby windows.

    The Dragon of Shandon was all ready to travel through Cork City. It was waiting just down the street from Shandon Bells. Raaaarrrrr!

  • The afterglow of sunset

    The sun has set and left behind a glowing sky and dark horizon

    The sky is glowing red and orange after the sun has set, and the land and buildings in the foreground have been cast into darkness.
