Killarney’s Crystal Water

Last October when Blarney Photography Club visited Killarney to photograph the rutting season this year, we took a break from the deer and some of us went to O’Sullivan’s Cascade. This is the Lakes of Killarney as seen from where that waterfall flows into the lake.

It was a beautiful clear day. The sky might have been a little boring for photography but I loved what I saw there. Especially when I saw how the sunlight caught a rock in the water. The hills in the background disappear into the distance like a painting. Quite a remarkable day.

The Passage West to Monkstown Run

Black and white photograph of young man on small bicycle riding along curved road from Passage West to Monkstown in Co Cork, with footpath, street lamps, dense woodland, and rolling hills in background

The bike might be a little small but it got him to Monkstown in the end, I hope.

A Storm Brewing

Cows waiting to be milked in a field near the Coachford Greenway. It’s a lovely walk along the River Lee, opposite Farran Woods.

I had an umbrella, and it was a good thing too, as it started raining about ten minutes later.

A Home Surrendered to Time

An old abandoned house on the Sheep’s Head Peninsula in Co. Cork. This isn’t the first time I’ve photographed it. In 2017 it looked much the same, but not quite as overgrown.

Unexpected Stop on the Slea Head Drive

The Dingle Peninsula is pure magic, isn’t it? Beautiful scenery, wild oceans and if you’re unlucky, a traffic jam caused by a cow walking up the road.
