I was there too
The final resting place of James Attridge and his wife Margaret, surrounded by wild daisies. It’s in a small graveyard on the way to Crookhaven.

We visited a market in Skibbereen a few years ago, where I saw this gentleman selling these woodworking items.

This morning, the sun rose through a beautiful orange haze. This was some 600m away through the eye of a long lens, and it looked even better in real life.

The sun rose this morning a few minutes after 7am, but this is what the sky looked like about 8 minutes before. There was a glorious orange glow and the clouds were lit up from underneath by the sun coming around the globe and shining through the atmosphere.

The Cannonball Run brought a burst of excitement to the streets of Blarney back in 2018 despite the rain that day. It appears I only posted one photo from that day before. I must dig out more!

The Baltimore Beacon on one side and Sherkin Island on the other, while we travelled to that island on a day trip, the same day as this photo of the 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 with all the authority of a traffic warden who’s had one too many cups of tea.

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 living on the island, chatting away.

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. 🙂
