Sunshine at Warren Beach

Please keep your distance

Covid-19 precautions in a Dunnes Stores at the cash registers. Dealing with us, the public, is hard enough in normal times. In Covid times it must be absolutely awful.

Fog in the Light

A street light shines through the fog on a gloomy night recently. Many parts of the country had fog warnings but for someone on foot it lent a mysterious feel to ordinary scenes.

The colours of Autumn

A New Day Dawns

Fireworks illuminate the park beside Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Blackrock tonight. The fireworks were part of the “Magic Nights By The Lee – A Winter Solstice” series of events but unfortunately due to Covid 19 they didn’t tell anyone where the fireworks would be launched from as reported by The Echo earlier today,

For public health reasons, viewing sites will not be provided at launch locations. However, the wider public is invited to enjoy the display from a safe, socially distanced vantage point and can tune in to Red FM for the accompanying audio.

Local residents were informed and a small crowd gathered to watch. It was a superb show, with a huge variety of colours and explosions. Made for a hectic ten minutes while I pressed the shutter button again and again hoping for good shots!

Light Trails and the Ferris Wheel

I went into town today and after finding parking around Gilabbey Street I wandered around Grand Parade until the sun set and got a few photos of the ferris wheel there.

No stalls this year which is disappointing but with Covid19 on the rampage it’s understandable. Masks were seen inside and out among young and old.

There was a great festive mood in the city. Lots of families around, lots of music playing and people sitting outside shops and cafes drinking coffees, eating hot food and cold. I was amazed to see kids eat ice cream but it was a nice evening, not too cold in the city.

Light Trails in the Car Park

The lights of cars in the car park of Blackpool Shopping Centre blur into ghostly lines.

This photo is built from 4 separate images taken at the exact same spot, merged into one in Photoshop.

I thought I had posted a similar photo to this one but I cannot find it. It’s lost to the mists of time. Annoying..
