A few photos of the deer in Killarney National Park a year ago when I visited there with Blarney Photography Club. These have been sitting in my “Unpublished” collection since then, so I might as well make them public.

The curves of the Sacré-Cœur

The Captain likes Diet Coke
Wearing a cap that says “Capitan”, and dressed as he is in shorts and then in a warm jumper, I had to photograph him as he stood outside McDonald’s on Daunt Square.
I’m not sure what his name is, but I’ve seen him around Cork a few times since taking this photo last year.
