Motion Around the Eiffel Tower
Life is all around beneath the Eiffel Tower. Most people are walking but the people selling mini Eiffel Towers and other knick knacks to tourists are the only ones stationary.
A Path Through The Dunes
Grass is blown, and clouds are whisked through the air by winds that blow on to the beach at Long Strand, Co Cork.
The sun on Cobh Cathedral
The cathedral in Cobh is really impressive. It’s set on a hill overlooking the town, so when I saw the rays of the setting sun light up the front of the building, I had to record the moment in a photo.
A kite at the Basant Festival
I visited Carrigaline yesterday for the Basant Kite Festival. It was a lovely day, and the forecast rain stayed away for most of the afternoon. Here’s one of those kites flying high over the bandstand in the town. There weren’t many kites flying but it was lovely to see them! I asked Bing to generate…

Hurling in the sky
The mural of a hurler on Anglesea Street on a bright July afternoon. Always great to see this when I walk or drive past. The last time I photographed this mural was in the depths of winter last January! ACHES did a great job on this one!
Look up Girona
We arrived in Girona on a blisteringly hot day. The temperature display in the car said 39C. We had to park in an area without shade, but whenever we could, we walked in the welcome shade of the buildings of this beautiful Spanish city.
The Ceiling of the Pantheon
Look straight up from the centre of the Pantheon to see the magnificent ceiling above you.
Ferris Wheel in Bright Sunlight
The Ferris Wheel on the Grand Parade last December. A glorious, sunny, and mild December afternoon just before the new year.
The Milky Way in Tenerife
The Milky Way captured from inside Teide National Park. This is a stacked image created from 19 images of the sky and 10 “noise” images. It was assembled in Sequator using this video tutorial to help me figure out how to use it. Final adjustments in Lightroom. Getting to Teide National Park, inside a volcano,…
Bird Flying High
Spotted in Edinburgh in 2018 on a meetup there. Lovely skies, lovely weather. We were very lucky that week!
