A breakwater on a calm evening

The breakwater protecting boats in Ballycotton harbour lies in shadow as the setting sun shines down behind it.

The breakwater in Ballycotton Harbour on a calm evening recently when Blarney Photography Club visited to photograph the area.

The setting sun casts a shadow on the inside of the obstruction, but the sea is almost motionless, with barely a breeze to disturb it.

Emma Lou in Ballycotton

Some of the boats in Ballycotton a few weeks ago when Blarney Photography Club visited. A trawler with the name Emma Lou was in the foreground, but also visible were smaller boats, and the local search and rescue boat that had just arrived.

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!

The boats of Ballycotton

Boats in Ballycotton Harbour at sunset. The lifeguard vessel can be seen in the middle background, and a trawler is tied to the pier right in front of me, with other smaller boats further back.

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.
