Starry Night Sky
After photographing the National Space Centre on a dark January evening I turned around and spotted this silhouette. Luckily, there wasn’t much of a wind blowing, but we were lucky. A chill wind blew in a few minutes later.
The Idle Hour on Albert Quay
Well, the Idle Hour, Navigation Square, 1 Albert Quay and the other pubs along Victoria Road. This was taken one morning early, just after the sun rose. I’ve taken this photo a few times over the years and I love the reflection in the River Lee, at high tide, like the buildings are floating at…
Long shadows at sunset
Lovely golden light casts long shadows on a street in Lisbon.
Flowers of the Eiffel Tower
When you visit the Eiffel Tower, you’ll see the massive Jardin de la Tour Eiffel stretch off into the distance. In warm weather, the gardens are thronged with people in the evenings who gather to watch the Eiffel Tower light up. This photo was shot on one such evening. The night was calm, and warm…
An entertaining dog
There are lots of little dogs around Cork City these days, and they wear cute little coats against the rain and cold.
Lost in Paris
A long figure seems lost in the courtyard of the Panthéon in Paris, while another sits on a rock bench lost in a book. An actual, honest to goodness, paper book.
A little doggy in her coat

Walking past the Museum Brandhorst in Munich and I noticed the pleasing lines of the museum and the repeating pattern of the flats next door.
Yes, it is very long
The trailer of a lorry in Piper’s, Crosshaven. Not much activity happening there, but I liked this image.
Making Plans in London
A woman, deep in thought, wondering what she’ll buy at a market in London a few years ago. I only noticed she had her glasses sitting on her head. Ingenious! I hate wearing sunglasses while walking, as I have to replace them with my glasses when I go somewhere dark.
Rowing past the ships
On a quiet October morning in 2016, I travelled into town as I saw there was fog forecast, and I wasn’t disappointed. While I was photographing the boats lined up along Kennedy Quay, a single rower came up the river. He quickly glided past my position along the river, but I grabbed a few photos,…
