Light Trails on Anglesea Street
On the last outing to Cork City by Blarney Photography Club in 2019. I was lucky that two busses passed within seconds of each other and I had the shutter open to capture them!
St. Peter’s Square at Night
Not many people about in the evening of a November day in 2017 in the Vatican.

Puerto del Carmen by the Sea
January 1st, 2020 in Lanzarote. It seems like a world away. Some knew what was ahead of us in this year but I certainly never suspected what the world would be going through now.

The Dom Luís Bridge in Porto, Portugal last November.

The Lights of The Mary Elmes Bridge
Mary Elmes was an an Irish aid worker who saved many Jewish children from being transported to concentration camps during World War II. In 1942, the Vichy authorities made it clear that Jewish children were not legally allowed to be exempt from being sent to the concentration camps, as they had been. Elmes, with help…
