Cock a doodle do!
A cock in Bunratty Folk Village struts around protecting his patch of ground from a nosy photographer.
Don’t think I’ve ever heard the nursery rhyme of the same phrase.
Cock a doodle do!
My dame has lost her shoe,
My master’s lost his fiddlestick,
And knows not what to do.

Diverging Lines near Allihies
I love lines in images so I had to take this shot. It was taken at the same spot as this Allihies photo. What a beautiful day that was!

Hillside Chains
Rusted chains lie on the ground near the walkway to the Mizen Head Lighthouse.
Just saw Star Trek. In my head it was the best thing since sliced bread but it was still a great film. Loved the little nods to the original series. Definitely worth going to see!

Thatched Roof in Bunratty
A thatched roof on one of the cottages in Bunratty Folk Park, County Clare.
There’s one ugly open mine right next door but it’s well hidden. I had no idea it was there until I checked Google Maps a minute ago!

House with a sea view
For sale: house with a sea view on beautiful, scenic cliffs in West Cork. Perfect starter home.
No, not really. It’s only a tiny little hut above the cliffs at Mizen Head in County Cork.

Nature invades our spaces
Nature starts to reclaim the works of man as soon as he turns his back. It’s inevitable as this photo of the steps up to a house in Sunday’s Well shows.
My own garden is the picture of neat and tidy lawn without a single blade of grass out of place. I wish!

One Bridge to Mizen Head
The bridge to Mizen Head Lighthouse is a landmark itself, photographed many times over the years. I have a few more shots of this bridge to share with you in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
We saw Honeymoon Cabaret perform their unique brand of street theatre in Douglas this afternoon and very enjoyable it was too! Hopefully I’ll post a photo or two tomorrow. I went a bit mad with the camera and it’s hard to choose just one image!

Gamma Radiation Survey Meter
A very specialized device sits in a cupboard in the lighthouse at Mizen Head, County Cork.
I have to wonder why a “Gamma Radiation Survey Meter” would be needed in a lighthouse at the southern tip of Ireland though. Not much call for radioactivity detectors in this country.
Nuclear powered lighthouse anybody?
PS. This is a slightly tinted b/w image. Many of the images in B/W Magazine seem to be tinted which was the inspiration for doing this.
