A Silhouette of a Sunset
The sun had just set beyond Dunmore Head, next to Coumeenoole Beach. I had arrived late, but in time to make a silhouette of the hill and catch clouds just peeping over the hill.
The Rock Orchestra in Cork Opera House
We went to see The Rock Orchestra play in the Cork Opera House last night, and they were a blast! Hopefully, these photos will help capture some of the excitement of the night. It’s well worth going to see them!
HNLMS Dolfijn Visits Cork
In 2003, the Dutch submarine, Dolfijn, or Dulfun, visited Cork for a few days. I happened to be around town and spotted it from Kennedy Quay where I’d been photographing the ships, buildings and machinery. When it left Cork, it headed to Mallorca. September in Cork is nice, but I wouldn’t mind a few days…
Winthrop Street Dug Up
In early 2005, Winthrop Street was dug up and repaved. I really don’t like the modern surface. Part of it feels slippery, and the middle section is uncomfortable to walk on. Anyone else?
Lulu the VW Bus
In 2019, Lulu was this beautiful blue VW bus and was a photo studio on the final night of the Automattic Grand Meetup in Florida that year.
The October ’24 Aurora
Yesterday, I noticed that Henry was warning us (in Blarney Photography Club) that there was likely going to be a great display of aurora borealis that night. I’m recovering from a cold, so I was just going to stay in and watch TV, which I did. Nothing was going to get me out into the…
A Busker in February
On a quiet February day in 2019 I walked down Winthrop Street and saw this busker strumming his guitar.
The Sherkin Boat
If you walk over to Cow Strand on Sherkin Island, you’ll come across this boat, maybe. At least in 2015 you would have. It might be gone by now. Take a look at Google Maps. I think that’s this boat.
The Llafranc Cat
When I was collecting the keys to our apartment near Llafranc in Spain a few years ago, I was being carefully watched by a feline guard. No doubt waiting for treats.
Horses on Sherkin Island
We were visiting Sherkin Island in 2015 when I saw a rider pulling another horse along with him. This was on Cow Strand, but I’d seen him riding on Silver Strand earlier in the day. A lovely, warm, August day just before school was about to start again.
A Stag and his hinds
I visited the National Park in Killarney, Co Kerry, today to photograph the deer with other members of Blarney Photography Club, and a few friends. There weren’t many stags or deer to be seen, apart from in a field up a hill beyond the Castlerosse Park Resort golf course. We found this stag near the…
The movement of sunset
On a day when there’s a storm blowing outside and the sky is a white sheet covering the land, I like to look at the beautiful colours of the sunset.
