The Lights Have Stars
A car drove towards me a few nights ago while I was playing around with an 8 star filter on my camera. Most of the time it’s totally overdone, but I liked how this came, especially as the headlights are reflected in the bus shelter.
A haven for blue in Kinsale
The entrance to the Blue Haven Hotel in Kinsale, Co. Cork. Truly, a haven for the colour blue in a lovely town.
The Kennedy Quay Skyline
Kennedy Quay this morning as the sun rose, with R&H Hall in the centre of the image, as this skyline will disappear in the next few months. Note: the sky has been replaced. It was a very dull, overcast day. Hopefully, this is more pleasing to the eye. The old R&H Hall building has not…
R&H Hall in Cork City
The R&H Hall building looms over Kennedy Quay as seen from Michael Collins Bridge today. It’s going to be demolished this year, so if you want to record “what once was” on the site, get down there soonest!

Dogs of the Protest Rally

Feeling Slightly Disjointed
The mirrors of 123 Champs-Élysées reflect a broken view of the world, making passers-by smile and laugh.
Human imitates statue
The Jeunesse d’Aristote is a statue made by Charles Degeorge and is currently in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris. Sometimes, we humans, unintentionally imitate others, even inanimate objects. Or maybe it’s just a comfortable way to sit. Degeorge captured that amazingly well in his work here.
Armed Soldiers patrol around Montmartre
Four soldiers climb the steps of Montmartre up to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre on a warm August afternoon. They slowly walked up the steps, without comment or conversation. Walked around the fountains above and up the steps to the Basilica. It was unnerving, but months later, tourists were being stabbed and violently robbed…
