Us on the tower
Painted with the light of a torch on a round tower in a local church yard late at night. If you look carefully you can even see stars in the sky! This page has some information about that tower:
The round tower in Waterloo (approx. 1 mile from Blarney) … … was built in the 1800’s by Fr. Matt Horgan, the then parish priest of Blarney.

Looking out of a window onto a garden, a colourful and lively scene unfolds before your eyes. In the foreground, two bird feeders are hanging from the washing line, swaying gently in the breeze.
Beyond the feeders, a lush expanse of green grass stretches out towards the trees and garden walls.
The photo is oversaturated, with bright and vivid colours that evoke a sense of joy and energy.

As the early morning light shines through the window, it casts a warm and inviting glow over the room. The light is a soft yellow hue that fills the space with a sense of calm and tranquility. In the foreground of the image, two shoes are visible, hinting at the presence of a person who has yet to fully wake and start their day.
The light from the window illuminates a pink wall, casting a beautiful and ethereal light over its surface. The pink hue of the wall is accentuated by the warm glow of the light, creating a stunning contrast that is both soothing and energizing. The scene is one of quiet contemplation, a moment of stillness and peace before the bustle and noise of the day begins. The photo captures the magic of the early morning, when the world is just beginning to stir and anything seems possible.

In this image, a bright yellow flower takes center stage against a backdrop of pale red blocks with painted black mortar between them. The contrast between the vibrant yellow and the muted red creates a striking visual effect, drawing the eye to the delicate petals of the flower. The black mortar lines provide a sense of structure and order to the composition, framing the flower and highlighting its beauty. Despite the simplicity of the scene, the careful arrangement of colors and shapes creates a sense of depth and texture, evoking the warmth and vibrancy of a summer day.
