A Bridge to Wandesford Quay
Cork’s newest bridge is a new pedestrian or cycle bridge that spans the River Lee from Wandesford Quay to Lambley’s Lane. You’d be forgiven if you’re not familiar with either area, as they aren’t exactly the most trafficked areas in the city. If you’re curious, Lambley’s Lane is off to the side of the old…
Sunset at Carrigadrohid
The castle at Carrigadrohid stands on a rock in the middle of the River Lee, adjoining a bridge, giving the local village it’s name, after the Irish, Carraig an Droichid, meaning ‘rock of the bridge’. (Wikipedia) I’d never been before, but I went with Blarney Photography Club to photograph this scenic location last night. Luckily,…
Still Water and Blue Sky
One afternoon while we were in Valencia we visited the Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe on hire bikes. There were huge crowds there, taking selfies and hanging around, but with a long 20-second exposure they all (mostly) disappear into a blur. In the photo above you’ll also see the Pont l’Assut de l’Or bridge…
Alexandre III Bridge at Night
The Alexandre III Bridge in Paris was a beautiful sight to see. Unfortunately, there were road works on the bridge and traffic was busy, so you had to be careful where you went. A large group of Japanese tourists spent an age taking photos with the bridge in the background. They even had lights on…
The Ballincollig Regional Park Weir
The weir in Ballincollig Regional Park collapsed in 2014, but this photo was taken many years before that, in 2003. Repairs to the weird have been delayed over and over again, unfortunately.
The white bridge of Lisbon
The Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge stands out clearly against the sky in this sunset photo in Lisbon.
A bridge over reflections
Early one morning in Valencia, before the sun rose, I travelled to the Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe to photograph the area. Pictured above is the CaixaForum next door, with the graceful arch of the Pont l’Assut de l’Or bridge in front of it. They are reflected in the waters surrounding the science museum….
The Caminito del Rey Bridge
If you do the Caminito del Rey hike, you’ll come across this bridge at the end of your journey. The old bridge isn’t used any more as a modern suspension bridge has been built right next to it. It’s still quite a sight as you walk over it and definitely not somewhere to go if…
Have a seat on the bridge
In Valencia, Spain, they rerouted a river that ran through the city, making a very long park through the city. The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, the science museum, is behind me, nestled in the space the river once took, while in front is the Pont l’Assut de l’Or. It’s a beautiful bridge…
The Valentia River Viaduct
The now unused viaduct over the Valentia River in Co Kerry caught my eye away back in 2019.
The Old Weir Bridge in Killarney
The Old Weir Bridge is a picturesque bridge over a small river near the Lakes of Killarney in Ireland. The bridge is an old stone structure with arched openings, and it looks particularly beautiful against the natural backdrop of the river and trees. The trees on both sides of the river are mostly bare, which…
Finding the Next Photo in Camden Town
The bustling streets of Camden Town, London are alive with activity, as a photographer searches for his next subject. Unaware of his own presence in this photo, he scans the crowds for inspiration, his eyes constantly roving in search of that perfect shot. In the background, the North London Line bridge over Chalk Farm Road…
