Seagull’s Perch on Wallis Buoy
Ah, the majestic Wallis buoy. It’s a beacon of maritime sophistication and seagull real estate. On my way to Sherkin Island, I came upon this floating masterpiece, complete with a solar panel that probably powers the seagull’s Netflix subscription. The bird, perched confidently atop its throne, seemed to be enforcing the 6 km speed limit…
Rural Banter in Cork
Tucked away on the serene Sherkin Island in County Cork, I stumbled upon a timeless moment that felt plucked from another era. Two older men, clearly no strangers to the soil beneath them, were deep in conversation. This photo was taken in 2015 while on a visit to the island. I hope they are still…
Next Stop: Shopping in Cork
Three women wait at the traffic lights on Grand Parade. They’ve all been shopping in NEXT. It’s odd what Lightroom sometimes does to a photo when you correct for lens distortion. 🙂
I’m here for the Beamish
A man with his pint of Beamish seated at The Roundy a few years ago.
Reflections on Wilton Terrace
A glass fronted building on Wilton Terrace is reflected in the waters of the canal in Dublin earlier this month. I thought it might be the Canadian Embassy, but Google Maps shows it’s a slightly different building.
A Man and His Dog
It’s so unusual to see a dog in Cork City, but then I saw this beautiful Border Collie. His attention on something off-camera.
A Golden Moment
The wide pavement of McCurtain Street is where I spotted a young woman putting the lead on her patient Golden Retriever. He sat there patiently as she fixed the lead in place and continued on their way down the street.
Paws Up for Treats in Cork
I think there might have been something special in that paper bag and that husky wanted it. 🙂
Canine Companion on Castle Street
This cute little terrier saw Diego, my chihuahua, and of course needed to make friends with him. 🙂 Dogs are the best! PS. inb4 complaints. Nobody noticed this was Paul Street!
A Four-Legged Historian
Bishop Lucey Park in Cork is surrounded by hoarding with text describing the history of the area. But you don’t want to read about that, do you? That cute little doggy is all any of us wants to see. 🙂
A Tranquil Irish Harbour
The harbour in Ahakista is a picturesque location on a warm June evening. This photo was made in 2014 when I was on holiday there with my family.
A Blur of Hooves
Raw speed in a still image as jockeys rode past on their mounts at the Dawstown Point to Point in 2023.
