Palm trees in the sunset
In this scene, a serene moment is captured as palm trees are silhouetted against the stunning orange and pink hues of a setting sun. The warm glow of the sky sets a peaceful and calming mood, contrasting against the harshness of the container ship in the distance. The ship is barely visible, with only the…
The Labour of Cork
A man walks past large posters on a wall showing the labour required to harvest cork, in Palafrugell, Spain.
A near miss
As a woman was crossing the road, she noticed an ambulance approaching with its sirens blaring. The ambulance had broken a red light but wasn’t driving particularly fast. She looked both ways and realized she had the right of way and could continue walking across the road. As the ambulance got closer, she waved nervously…
The Wandering Dog
A dog is tied up in the doorway of a pet shop in Malaga. She’s not always tied up and likes to visit the vegan café down the street. A lovely, friendly dog, but she has food on her mind the whole time!
Waves crash on rocks in a mist
Waves crash on rocks but all you see is a mist in this 4 second long exposure shot. That’s Roches Point Lighthouse in the background, of course, because this photo was taken in Church Bay last year.
The Babbling Head
One of the heads in a fabulous art exhibit in The Crawford Art Gallery in Cork. This head was only one of many, all suspended in the air by thin threads, and with a mouth that opens and closes continuously. Unfortunately, I’m not sure who the artist is who created this installation. If anyone knows,…

Consecration of St Mel, Bishop of Longford by St Patrick
There’s a dark room in the Crawford Art Gallery, Cork, with 3 stained glass works by Harry Clarke. This photo is one of those and should be seen in person if you’re in Cork. They were made by Clarke while he was in his early twenties, and still a student at the Dublin Metropolitan School…
A figure in the mirror
A soon-to-be bus passenger walks to the bus station in Parnell Place, Cork.
An Fear Marbh at Sunset
On a lovely summer’s evening on the Dingle Peninsula I photographed An Fear Marbh, yet again. It’s a picturesque part of the country so you can hardly blame me for taking photos! 🙂 Today I learned that, in English, it’s called Inishtooskert, which is an Anglicised version of the Irish name, “Inis Tuaisceart”, or “Northern…
