Belem and Grace O’Malley in Cork
Belem, a French tall ship, was docked in Cork Harbour until 10am this morning. There was a mostly disappointing sunset last night, but the sky did light up briefly just at the horizon. The masts and rigging of the Grace O’Malley, the new sail training ship can be seen in the background. It was a…

The Tide is Out
Low tide on the River Lee recently, but with the talk of drought in Europe this summer, it’s hard not to jump to the conclusion that the water level is extra low. I drove by the river yesterday evening during high tide. The water was only 30cm or less below the level of the street,…
The Last Supermoon of 2022
The Moon is almost 90% of it’s closest approach to Earth right now, which is why it’s called a Supermoon but it’s not much bigger than it usually is. Thankfully the air is clear and the skies are mostly devoid of clouds so I got a nice photo of the Moon last night. 🙂
