Catching the sun at the beach

A boy catches the sun at the beach with his fishing rod. It was all he caught that evening, but I think he made some happy memories.

Blackbird in the bushes

A very busy blackbird stopped still for 5 seconds so I could catch a photo of it. He was digging around, throwing up leaves and hunting around between branches. Building material for a nest perhaps?

Statues at Sunset

Some of the statues that decorate the entrances to St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral in Cork.

Taken while we waited for the Cathedral to open so we could hear beautiful classical music played that evening by London Concertante.

The Round Tower in Ardmore

The round tower in the cemetery in Ardmore is really impressive, standing out on the hillside overlooking the town.

The tower was built in the 12th century but it has been kept in great condition. Lots more to learn about it on this page.

Morning Light on Blarney Castle

This morning is a beautiful start to the week. Fog in the distance and the fiery orange ball of the sun shining through clear skies. Blarney Castle was lit up in a lovely orange glow and I had to spend a few minutes away from the busy bustle of life to get this photo.

St. Luke’s Church, Douglas

St Luke’s Church and Graveyard in Douglas. I have a few memories of this church from the early eighties. A man named Mr Good lived in the gate house nearby and I visited there once with my mother. I remember it because he had a kaleidoscope that fascinated me. It was the first time I’d seen such a wondrous device! Probably in 1979, or 1980, the shed next door became a class room for some time and I remember sitting at a desk looking around at other kids.

I haven’t visited the graveyard since, but I’d like to go back for a wander around.
