Off the horse
A young rider came off his horse during a race at the Dingle Races last August. His horse continued on, but the unlucky rider had to get out of the way of other horses.
Surreal Flowers in Dublin
A woman stands next to a display of flowers for sale in Dublin last October. I played with the colours here a little. A bit of fun on an image that was too noisy, and too dark.
The winds blows softly
On a lovely evening in August last year I was walking along a beach with my wife. The sun was getting low in the sky casting a faintly yellow glow over the world. This long exposure shot captures the movement of cloud, and the wind blown grass. Even though there wasn’t much wind, it’s all…
In the future we won’t talk at all
We just tap tap tap on the screens to order. The man watching me take the photo never said a word either. It was Halloween, did you notice the horns on her head?
The Horse in the box
On the day before the Dingle Races I saw a horse looking out of a horse box. His owner had gone into the nearby petrol station and came back a few minutes later.
A day at the races
A man sitting on a box at the Dingle races in 2022. The weather was lovely, it was a great day to be out!
Plants grow everywhere
Near the top of Patrick’s Hill in Cork I spotted these plants growing from the gutter of a building. Good thing plants don’t have a fear of heights because there was a large drop from there. 🙂
Sailing past Roches Point
A sailing boat sails past Roche’s Point Lighthouse at the mouth of Cork Harbour. It was a lovely August evening last year. The days were long and the sun was shining!
Morley’s Hire
If you need to hire a suit in Cork, then Morley’s might be one place you’ll go to. I saw their building across Daunt Square in McDonald’s and I liked how the window and furniture framed it.
Rushing to buy fuel
August 2022 when fuel prices in Ireland were sky high, and they’re likely to go in that direction again. In that month, a litre of petrol or diesel was €2.059. The price per litre has since dropped to €1.618, or at least it was at the end of April when I purchased petrol last. Anyway,…
Browsing in the record store
Vinyl records are in vogue again and upstairs in Golden Discs in Patrick Street, Cork is devoted to these black disks. I have to admit I’ve rummaged through their selection of Queen records from time to time. And look, is that Rory Gallagher on the wall? I went looking online for that photo, but can’t…
All you need is love, JFK
Late last year I visited Youghal on a Sunday. Most of the shops were closed, including this one but the display in front caught my eye. JFK is still highly regarded by many people who don’t know how unfaithful he was to his wife, and maybe they do know and ignore that part of him….
