Mauve, green, and red
3 doors, all different colours. I love it! Modern housing is so boring.
Lines on the wall
A drain pipe comes down the wall, taking corners in strict lines, while the thin branches of a bush cling to the smooth surface. The branches look like they want to smother or envelop the wall, but the branches are bare. The wall is smooth. All dead.
2023 Fireworks on Spike Island
Last night I attended the 85th Birthday Celebrations & Commemorations on Spike Island in Cork Harbour. Eagle-eyed readers will already have seen the fireworks photo I posted to this page yesterday. Readers with even better eye sight will have noticed that I replaced the image I uploaded yesterday with a slightly different version today. Call…
Fireworks on Spike Island
Fireworks lit up the sky above Spike Island this evening! Posting this from the island.
Red 6
No 6 in Kinsale recently. I loved the red colour and the contrasting white/cream door and windows.
The Old Bank House of Kinsale

The Green Door

Outstretched Wings
A crow lifts off from the pole he was standing on, with his wings spread out to glide down.
Flying over fields
Another one of a swallow flying near Ballycroneen Beach recently. You’ll recognise the field in the background from a recent photo!
Swallows fly fast!
Swallows fly really fast and they’re difficult to photograph in flight, so when I managed to catch this one in flight I had to share both. As I was advised by Rory, I didn’t zoom in which made it easier to catch them crossing the scene. On my Sony camera I set it to wide…
The Crow and the Swallow
A crow stands on top of a pole as a swallow flies past him. Those swallows are really hard to photograph, so I zoomed in on the top of the pole and just watched the pole, without looking through the camera. When I saw a swallow fly close, I hit the shutter button hoping burst…
