The Valletta Skyline
When we stayed in Valletta in Malta a few years ago there were several thunder storms. I hardly saw any lightning but dark clouds accompanied them and in the evenings blotted out the sun as it set over the city and The Grand Harbour.
Fireworks At Cobh People’s Regatta 2022
I barely made it to Cobh on Sunday night to photograph the fireworks display that started promptly at 10pm. On the way there, the cloudy sky was lit up by peals of thunder and flashes of lightning. Rain fell in light spatters on the car, and I’m told there was a downpour just before I…
Spike Island Fireworks
A few photos from the fireworks display on Spike Island in Cork Harbour last night. 1300 fireworks were launched in just under 10 minutes!
Reaching for the sky
The enormous (for Lanzarote) Arrecife Gran Hotel & Spa sits in the harbour of Arrecife and dominates the skyline. It’s the tallest building on the island and not without controversy. Some time after it’s construction a law came into force forbidding the construction of such tall buildings on the island. This page says it was…
The Road to Femés
Every time I go to Lanzarote I like to photograph the road coming from Playa Blanca to Femés. It leads to a very steep hill that some cars have problems with. Our hired car included, as it was very underpowered! If you look carefully you’ll see the ghostly image of a car near the pole…
Fireworks Over Cobh
Fireworks lit the sky over Cobh last night as part of the St. Patrick’s Day festivities. I’m glad Henry heard about the event as I had no idea it was on!
The hurler and the buses
The stunning mural of a hurler on the wall of a house on Anglesea Street and South Terrace stands watching passing traffic on a cold January evening. The mural by Dublin artist ACHES is amazing to look at during the day but I liked how the hurler is just visible between these passing buses. You…
The Spinning Ferris Wheel
The Ferris wheel on the Grand Parade spinning away delighting the crowds earlier this month. Looking forward to 2022. It has to be better than 2021, and 2020.
December Fireworks
Fireworks illuminate the park beside Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Blackrock tonight. The fireworks were part of the “Magic Nights By The Lee – A Winter Solstice” series of events but unfortunately due to Covid 19 they didn’t tell anyone where the fireworks would be launched from as reported by The Echo earlier today, For public…
Light Trails in the Conor Pass
Light trails of passing cars along the Conor Pass on the Dingle Peninsula in Co Kerry.
Light Trails in the Car Park
The lights of cars in the car park of Blackpool Shopping Centre blur into ghostly lines. This photo is built from 4 separate images taken at the exact same spot, merged into one in Photoshop. I thought I had posted a similar photo to this one but I cannot find it. It’s lost to the…
