Breaking barriers to the beach
A wooden fence lies forgotten in the sands of the beach in Santa Monica. Lifeguard Tower 15 stands in the background of this photo, just beyond all the food carts.
The sea off Sheep’s Head
Watching the sea roll back and forth off the rugged coast of Sheep’s Head. March 2016.
Yellow and Fenced In
A flower or weed? A weed is only a flower in the wrong place, or so I’ve heard. This was taken at Seaside in Florida during the Automattic meetup there in 2010. Beautiful beach there, horrible humidity in September! This will probably be my last post of the year here so happy new year and…
Bantry Field
A field in Bantry, County Cork. Way up in the hills surrounding the town.
Reflections of a fence
That same fence again, this time against the setting sun and reflected in a pool of water from the recent rains. Loved taking this shot and others at the time, they turned out almost as good as I imagined they would! My sister-in-law’s husband Ed has published a short story and is using one of…
Fencing out the Atlantic
A fence on the road on Slea Head in County Kerry. The waters of the Atlantic lie just beyond.
Old Wood and Yellow
The gorgeous Autumn colours contrast with the dark and rough texture of the old wood of a fence. Shot in Quebec of course.

Sunshine on the Conor Pass
Sunshine on the Conor Pass This will probably be the final photo from that September 2006 visit to the Conor Pass. It’s taken earlier than some of the others but I’m a sucker for leading lines so it had to go in! I love the reflection in the water on the valley floor, and the…
I can hardly see myself
I can hardly see myself As I said previously, thick fog was rolling across the Conor Pass. It was frightening how fast it moved and the light and scene changed utterly. Here’s it’s obscuring the road down the Pass, making the too-narrow road even more treacherous. I think by the time we left, even this…
Clouds over the Conor Pass
Clouds over the Conor Pass I’m loath to post photos from the same location day after day but I may as well call this “Conor Pass Week” and get the rest of them out of the dark where they’ve languished since 2006. After the reaction to yesterday’s Conor Pass photo hopefully you’ll like this one…
Rusty old fence at the Conor Pass
Rusty old fence at the Conor Pass A rusty old fence is all that protects you from a nasty fall down a fairly steep hill down to the valley floor at the Conor Pass. Buy This Photo
