A break from the guitar

A barefoot man takes a break from playing the guitar on the street. He is drinking some water while his guitar sits next to him and a bike leans against the wall.

A man takes a break from playing the guitar on Winthrop Street, Cork. It was July 2019, so probably warm and maybe humid, so his bare feet won’t have been cold.

Chatting to the bus driver

A man stands outside a bus waiting to get on. He's watched intently by a bus driver in another bus beside it.

I was walking along the street and noticed this man, standing by the door of a bus. I think it was stopped at traffic lights. Did you notice he’s being watched by another bus driver?

Horse is a picky eater

A horse in a field turned his head as if in disgust at eating something unpleasant

Down by Garrettstown Beach in Co Cork I spotted a horse in a field. He was by himself and I went over to say hi, and take his photo.

He’s obviously had enough of people taking his photo, or maybe he ate something unpleasant, to judge by the look on his face. 🙂

Wind Blown Clouds

Wind blows the clouds over a silhouetted house on a hill in a black and white photo.

Looking up from the rocks in Ballycotton I spotted this house and magnificent clouds overhead. The wind was blowing hard up there high in the sky and the clouds moved visibly as I watched.

It didn’t take me long to realise I needed to photograph it!

Construction Cranes on Horgan’s Quay

Construction Cranes were on site among the new buildings of Horgan's Quay in Cork. The River Lee is flowing in the foreground, crossed by Brian Boru Bridge nearby.

Back in 2019, and Horgan’s Quay was in the middle of development. Cranes were overhead, and the whole place was a building site.

During another trip with Blarney Photography Club to Ballycotton we were lucky to have a very calm evening. A light breeze disturbed the water, and there were clouds in the sky to make for an interesting sunset.

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.
