A nearby tree and bushes were silhouetted against the dying light of the sun, as it had just set behind the distant hill.

Blarney Castle at sunset
Blarney Castle can be seen above the trees of the surrounding area as the sun set last Thursday evening. Blarney Photography Club took the opportunity of a lovely evening to walk around the village and nearby to photograph the area. This photo is, of course, taken from Ring Wood, off Station Road.
Did you know that membership of Blarney Photography Club is now open to all (over 18s)? The new season starts in September and the club is holding an open night on September 5th at the local secondary school. Doors open at 7:30pm. I’ll be there, as will other members of the club. The famous Beginners and Improvers Photography Course will start the following week, and the 8-week course is great value at only €75. You’ll also become a member of the club, so you’ll be welcome to our weekly meetings, outings, competitions, practical sessions and more.
Visit the Club open night web page for further details!

The Cork Pride Flag
One of the (many) highlights of the Cork Pride parade is the massive rainbow flag that accompanies the marchers through the city. It was unfurled on Grand Parade where a jubilant crowd carried it and waved it in preparation for the trip around the city. I noticed a bump in the middle, and saw the reason underneath. 🙂

Hoppy looking at you
Bambie Thug at Cork Pride
At the Cork Pride party today, Bambie Thug performed for the crowd, and came on stage proudly waving the transgender flag. The party was great, and the parade was full of energy, colour, smiles and happiness. If you missed it this year, make sure to go next year. It’s a great event!

A face in the crowd on a dull day
It was a chilly March afternoon in Cork. Some were wrapped up tight against the cold, while it didn’t bother others. Look out the window now and enjoy the heat of July!

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.
