A chat on the phone
A woman relaxing on a bench outside a bookshop in Amsterdam while talking on her phone. I guess she was about to order something to eat, if that’s a menu in front of her.
From bed to shop
It’s a cold January afternoon in Cork, while a woman walks past bed clothes in a doorway, and a smiling woman looks on from a shop window poster.
The Ballycotton Cat
I spotted this feline beauty in Ballycotton a few weeks ago. We’d been shooting the sea and the lighthouse but, of course, my favourite photo is of a cat.
The waterfall of light
It was a very calm evening when we visited Mullinhassig last, and when I spotted the light coming through the leaves at the top of this photo I loved how it contrasted with the dark of the water below.
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is built on the slopes of the Acropolis. It must be stunning to view a stage performance there, but on this sunny afternoon it was empty, except for some people setting up cables, probably for a performance later that day.
Hidden History
A car parked on the pavement of a street at 190 Leof. Ionias in Athens, Greece. It’s half covered by sheets of plastic and cloth, but looking at Google Street View it appears to be there since at least 2022. Other cars have occupied this spot since at least 2009. That’s how far back that…
Amsterdam Lights

Fireworks Lacking Colour
We waited hours for the fireworks on Spike Island yesterday and, of course, I have loads of photos of the event, which will be posted here in due course. Here’s one photo, done a little differently, but I like the effect the lines of the fireworks in the air made in the air. Removing the…
Seaside Adventures with a Buggy
When the family is enjoying themselves, leave the buggy close by. A lovely day in Dún Laoghaire when Sandycove was thronged, but people made the most of the day, even if the area was a little rocky.
Bridge over little water
The Cloghnagash River in Carrignavar (Carraig na bhFear) flows under a bridge at one end of the village and is where I went exploring recently. While June had been cold and somewhat wet, the river wasn’t very high, and I was able to get down near the river itself afterwards to get a few more…
The look of a cat
Hoppy, curled up and asleep one afternoon, looks over at me in curiosity. No, I didn’t have any treats. Back to sleep she goes.
