The Boats of Glandore Harbour

Boats dot the water outside Glandore Harbour and one comes in to the quay.

Glandore harbour in the summer of 2019. Mist rolled off the sea on this day but had mostly faded away by the time I got there. However, you can see it in the distance, clinging to the land in the distance.

Bokeh Lights in Youghal

The out of focus lights of Youghal on a dark evening, just after sunset. The red brake light of a vehicle lights up the bottom right of the photo.

The out of focus lights of Youghal light up the sky. The red light of a passing vehicle lights up the corner of the scene.

I was originally going to photograph the light and get a long exposure shot of passing traffic but luckily, my lens was out of focus and reminded me I could shoot a photo like this!

Cork Eir Building at Sunset

The Eir building on the North Side of Cork City at sunset

I was out with Blarney Photography Club on Thursday night in the city. The sun was setting when I decided we should head to Bell’s Field. I thought we had about 30 minutes, but with the hills opposite, the sun sank out of sight much earlier.

Driving up there, through St. Luke’s, we got there just to see the sun disappear behind a bank of cloud on the horizon. Luckily, the glow of our celestial star continued for some time, and this is one of the photos from that night.

Not a great shot by any means, but it was nice to be out with everyone else, and we had a nice chat and drink afterwards.

Sun setting on the Youghal groynes

Waves roll in over the groynes in Youghal as the sun sets

The sun set on an absolutely clear sky on Thursday night in Youghal. I was there with Blarney Photography Club, and as you may have guessed from the photo, I was wearing wellies.

We had fun photographing the outgoing tide, and when the sun eventually slid towards the horizon the reflected colour in the sea got that bit more yellower and warmer. The groynes (or groins, depending on where you come from) make for a great subject.

Diego in his blanket

Diego in his blanket after waking up from a sleep. This is an old photo of him from 2017, but I’m posting it today because he’s at the vet’s office after getting an x-ray.

He hasn’t been himself for some time and let out loud yelps from time to time but he was diagnosed with Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) by the vet this afternoon.

It’s the very early stages of the disease and with lots of care we can treat him. No jumping off sofas, beds, or chairs. No walks even. We have to wrap him in cotton wool for the next six weeks.

He’ll get better.

The Eye Sees All

Graffiti on a wall. An eye in a triangle with a starry background overlaid on the face of a screaming bearded man.

This graffiti caught my eye when I walked past. It was on the corner of Barrack Street and Fort Street in Cork. The eye sees you and the man screams at you.

It’s long gone now, this photo was made in 2019!
