A colourful sunrise
It was one of those mornings where the sun shone on the clouds from below the horizon and filled the sky with fiery colours! I’ve been working on a WordPress plugin called Cloud Cover Forecast. It will show you the low, mid, and high clouds for a particular location in a block on your site….
Golden Dawn Through the Trees
This morning, the sun rose through a beautiful orange haze. This was some 600m away through the eye of a long lens, and it looked even better in real life.
The Calm Before The Day
The sun rose this morning a few minutes after 7am, but this is what the sky looked like about 8 minutes before. There was a glorious orange glow and the clouds were lit up from underneath by the sun coming around the globe and shining through the atmosphere.
The Blues Brothers in Action
The Cannonball Run brought a burst of excitement to the streets of Blarney back in 2018 despite the rain that day. It appears I only posted one photo from that day before. I must dig out more!
It snowed this morning
It snowed for the first time this winter in Blarney. It was raining so, at least around here, the snow didn’t settle on the roads. All the snow is gone by this stage, but it’s cold out. Hopefully, the wet ground doesn’t freeze. Raw and Edit
Snow on the road
It’s turned cold in Ireland, and we’re expecting snow overnight, but Met Éireann says there’s a 20-45% chance of snow, so it might just be another cold day tomorrow. Hopefully, it doesn’t rain and freeze. Don’t be fooled, this image is from January 2021.
The October ’24 Aurora
Yesterday, I noticed that Henry was warning us (in Blarney Photography Club) that there was likely going to be a great display of aurora borealis that night. I’m recovering from a cold, so I was just going to stay in and watch TV, which I did. Nothing was going to get me out into the…
Sunset over Ring Wood
The Ring Wood in Blarney last night just after the sun set behind me and there was a lovely glow at the horizon. In the next few years, houses will be built in that field, possibly obscuring this view from across the valley.
Mom and Calf
A cow and her calf lying on the grass, enjoying the April sun in a field near Blarney Castle in 2022. So serene.
Griffins stand guard in Blarney
Griffins sit at the points of the roof of the gatehouse at the main vehicle entrance to Blarney Castle. It’s a private entrance, so if you’re wondering where it is, go back towards the village from the tourist entrance and turn right across the bridge and go 20m down the road. It’s on your right…
Sunset Clouds
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…
