Milky Way Over the Costa Brava
In July 2022, I was in Llafranc and wondered if I’d be able to photograph the Milky Way. Dark skies maps of the area showed glowing lights all along the coast, and it seemed unlikely, but I wandered down to the beach one night to try. I was pleased with the result because there was…
The sign Americans dread
It’s a commonly held belief that Americans don’t know how to drive around roundabouts, but when I visited that country last year (in the before times), I saw at least 2 roundabouts and local people had no problems traversing them. Good luck getting around them in a monstrosity like the Cybertruck however.
The Anonymous Suit
An anonymous man in a suit at the Dingle Races a few years ago. I’m pretty sure he was sucking a lollipop.
Hay Bales at Dusk
In a field behind Wine Strand on the Dingle Peninsula, I spotted some hay bales. The sun had already set, but the sky wasn’t very interesting. The lay of the land cast an interesting shadow and I like photographing bales whenever I see them.
The Three Sisters at Twilight
From Dooneen Pier on a lovely April day in 2022 I saw the Three Sisters off the distance. The sea was fairly calm, and the evening was warm for that time of the year. I think I spent a good hour wandering up and down the pier taking photos, until darkness descended, and I went…
Above and Below: Penguin Partners
Two Humboldt penguins swim in the tank at Dingle Oceanworld a few years ago.
The Grand Parade Preacher
This woman was screaming into a microphone on Grand Parade, Cork, for the last few years. This is a photo from 2022, but I remember seeing her in late 2024 too. I could never make out what she was saying as the sound was distorted so much by the volume on her speaker. I hardly…
Behind the Sparkle of Cork Opera House
Ever wonder how they clean the high up windows of the Cork Opera House? Wonder no more. It’s with a really long pole that reaches to the top!
Urban Decay in Green and White
I spotted this scene while walking up the hill next to the harbour in the old town of Puerto del Carmen. The peeling paint of the window frame attracted my attention, but then the modern signs stood out in contrast to the white painted wall. Just one of those things I like about looking around.
The cat and the boats
A cat sits on the slipway in the old town of Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote, surveying the damage to a boat. Or maybe he’s just enjoying the last rays of the sun on a warm January evening.
