Storm Brewing Over Dingle
Dingle Marina sat there looking calm and civilised. Boats were tucked in, masts upright, everything in order while the sky overhead threatened rain and hid any chance of a sunset from my vantage point. Luckily, it didn’t rain. The sky just got darker and darker as the sun slipped further around the Earth. The low…
Low Cloud Over Dingle
Low clouds lay over Dingle town on Friday evening but while it wasn’t the most exciting light, it had a lovely even light without deep shadows. It was a quiet evening with only a few people out walking their dogs and even a couple of tourists!
Silhouette at the Harbour Mouth
There’s a narrow window just after sunset when the sky goes absolutely wild, when the sun has dropped below the horizon but the light is still bouncing around in the atmosphere, and you get these incredible bands of colour stacking up from warm orange through pink into deep purple and navy.

Growing Up by the Sea in Cork
It was a lovely evening in Ballycotton last Thursday, and a group of teenagers were making the most of it, jumping off the pier into the water and enjoying life.
A boat disturbs the water
As you may have seen over the last few days I was taking photos of the boats moored in Kinsale Harbour. Until another boat came along and sped past, disturbing the scene and rocking everything about. Still a lovely evening there, and it was about time to move on anyway. 🙂
Petal Power in Kinsale
A flower growing out of the crack between two blocks on the quayside in Kinsale, Co Cork. There it was, growing in the unlikeliest of places, just doing its thing right in the middle of all the grey.
Sailing Through Time
Someone walking past a sail in Kinsale made for a nice slow-motion intentional camera movement photo.
Masts and Mirrors
I visited Kinsale recently with Blarney Photography Club. Many photos were taken all around the town, but I went down the quay to start with the boats mooored nearby.
Red Cans and Boat Plans
Twenty years ago, I visited Baltimore in Co Cork and photographed these people coming from a boat in the harbour. They were in great form, with smiles all around. 🙂
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.
Los Gigantes Marina at sunset
The cliffs of Los Gigantes reflect the yellow light of the setting sun, while puny, tiny, boats lie moored in the harbour beneath. The size of the cliffs is astounding, easily dwarfing anything else nearby.
The boats of Cape Clear
Some of the boats docked at the harbour in Cape Clear, Co Cork. This was in August 2013, the last time I’ve been there, when we walked up and down the hills of the island and enjoyed the sunny day.
