A Statue in the Octagonal Court
A statue in the Octagonal Court in the Vatican remains nameless despite my best efforts. It stands to the side of the Laocoön and I even found it on Google Maps but the pedestal is stands on doesn’t have an inscription!
Love on the Lee
St Patrick’s Bridge in the background, pictured from Mary Elmes Bridge. A love lock on the fence but thankfully there aren’t many on it. Love locks are a serious problem for structures as they add unplanned weight. Happy holidays! Hope you had a nice day today!
Last Minute Shopping at O’Donovans Butchers
O’Donovan’s Butchers on Princes Street is long gone but back in 2002 I took this photo on Christmas Eve of shoppers getting food for their dinner the next day. 19 years ago to the day.

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…
Lost in Thought

Ceol on the back of a pickup
Achill Island, Co Mayo in July 2019. We joined the residents of Dooagh for a walk into the surrounding countryside. Halfway through there was refreshments and music and on a lovely July day it was glorious.

Blarney House in the Distance
Walk down by Blarney Lake and you’ll see Blarney House off the distance. There are usually cattle or horses in the fields around here but on this July day in 2015 the fields were empty.
Reflections on the River Lee
Looking across from the Lee Fields on a nice October evening earlier this year.
As the sun sets
The sun setting off in the distance creates lovely colours in the sky at Inch Beach, Co Kerry. A long time ago in 2015.
