A mural on Tucky Street
Behind a closed gate, you’ll find a lovely mural on a wall in Tucky Street. Look more closely at the pillars beneath it, and you’ll see they belonged to the library a long time ago!
Gougane Barra Reflections
The small chapel in Gougane Barra early one morning when the water of the lake there is almost motionless.
A breakwater on a calm evening
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.
A forest in the ruins
Amid the solemn remnants of a once-sturdy edifice, nature reclaims its dominion as elegant trees emerge from the heart of the ruins. Time has crumbled the walls and worn away the foundations, leaving behind a hauntingly beautiful tableau. The delicate yet resilient trunks of these trees writhe upwards like sinuous dancers, their journey culminating in…

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.
