The Morning Moon

The Moon a few days ago early one morning.

Atkin’s Hall Silhouette

The spires and roof of Atkin’s Hall overlooking the Lee Fields make for a striking silhouette against the afterglow of the setting sun. From a recent outing with Blarney Photography Club.

Silhouetted by the Sunset

A fantastic night’s sky just after the sun has set in Dingle, Co. Kerry.

Spinning around the sunset

All the fun of the swings on the Star Flyer at the Spin City Funfair in Dingle, Co Kerry.

The fish points south

The top of Shandon Bells, the tower of St. Anne’s Church in Cork City as seen from Bell’s Field. I’d like to visit that tower again and photograph Bell’s Field from there. 🙂 From a recent outing with Blarney Photography Club.

Along the Marina

Looking along the Marina in Blackrock on a quiet Friday afternoon. The trees have started to shed their leaves, but the recent rains must be helping. The heatwave in August has passed. I still see plenty of green.

Elisabeth Leaves Cork

The container ship Elisabeth left Cork yesterday at 17:19 on its way to Southampton in the UK. Here it is rounding the bend by Blackrock Castle as it heads into the harbour and out to sea.

The Hills of Five Finger Strand

Five Fingers Strand in Co Donegal on a beautiful July evening in 2018. The sun was setting soon, and the light was barely turning golden, casting shadows on the hills overlooking the water.

Heron in the River Lee

A heron walks along the weir by the Lee Fields, waiting for fish. A heron waiting for fish to swim past on the weir in the River Lee. While on an outing with Blarney Photography Club to the Lee Fields, we were lucky enough to see a very patient heron attempt to catch his dinner….

Fishing in the Lee

A fisherman sits on a fallen tree in the middle of the River Lee by the Lee Fields. He eventually left with no fish.

The North Side

The north side of Cork City, looking at the Cathedral of St. Mary & St. Anne and the Church of the Ascension, Gurranabraher. Prompted by a photo I saw Joe Healy post this morning on Twitter. It hasn’t changed much since 1984. https://twitter.com/JTPHealy/status/1566949777459351554

A fish out of water

A fish jumps out of the water of the River Lee by the Lee Fields in Cork a few weeks ago. Most of the fishermen gathered on the banks had no luck. The fish were after the little flies buzzing over the water!
