Urban Dreams in Bokeh

The blurred Christmas lights along St. Patrick Street and Cook Street transform into a dreamy tapestry of golden and multicoloured bokeh, creating a magical backdrop above a person wearing a studded black beanie and glasses near Opera Lane.

Nollaig shona duit! Hope you had a nice day today if you celebrate!

Bokeh Lights in Youghal

The out of focus lights of Youghal light up the sky. The red light of a passing vehicle lights up the corner of the scene.

I was originally going to photograph the light and get a long exposure shot of passing traffic but luckily, my lens was out of focus and reminded me I could shoot a photo like this!
