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.

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 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.

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…

Lights reflect in a canal in Amsterdam as a bridge is lit up. I love that I caught a passing vehicle going over the bridge too!

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…

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…

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.

I spotted this gate at the Forty Foot in Dún Laoghaire yesterday, and then noticed the decommissioned Poolbeg Power station was visible through the bars. There weren’t any swimmers about at this end of the Forty Foot, so I got a few photos of two iconic symbols of Dublin in one scene!

I was in Dún Laoghaire today on a beautiful afternoon. Sandycove Beach and the Forty Foot were both thronged with swimmers and people relaxing. I wish I brought my togs and a towel, but I had my camera and snapped a photo of this gentleman with his dog out on the water, paddleboarding!
