The castle at Carrigdrohid, as seen from across the river from my previous photo of the castle a few days ago. I was almost in the river taking this shot, following in the steps of Mark Gorman who waded in further and made a superb shot of the castle.

Motorbikes wait at the traffic lights at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens. Bikes were popular in the city, with riders weaving in and out of slow-moving four wheeled traffic.

Cows on the rocks near the sea on Sheep’s Head. Looks like one of them is enjoying the view of the water. Nice day for fishing ain’t it!

Light pours through a gap in the clouds, illuminating the waters between Sheep’s Head and the Beara Peninsula.

A Church of Ireland church near Schull, in Co. Cork, is set in scenic landscape beside Toormore Bay. We drove past, and I saw it was surrounded by a sea of wildflowers, mostly oxeye daisies, and also dandelions. On our return from Crookhaven I vowed to stop and spend half an hour there taking photos.

The castle at Carrigadrohid stands on a rock in the middle of the River Lee, adjoining a bridge, giving the local village it’s name, after the Irish, Carraig an Droichid, meaning ‘rock of the bridge’. (Wikipedia) I’d never been before, but I went with Blarney Photography Club to photograph this scenic location last night. Luckily,…

The skeleton of Páirc Úi Chaoimh before it was rebuilt reveals the Blackrock end of the stadium.

I spotted a bike for hire that must have been dumped in the river for quite some time before being returned to the lock area. It was underwater so long that seaweed grew on it and tiny seashells grew on the pedal! I presume it’ll be picked up, and hopefully cleaned up or recycled.

Hey! There’s a cat on the roof! Just one of the statues displayed at the Art+Soul exhibition in the Castlemartyr Resort was one of a cat standing on a large key. I thought it might be nice to see if the cat can stand on the roof of the hotel. 🙂

When you visit the Castlemartyr Resort in Co. Cork, you cannot miss the waterfall in the river next to the entrance road. It’s a beautiful spot and well worth visiting!

The Panathenaic Stadium was not very crowded when we visited, but I immediately noticed a small group of young people taking photos of each other and added them to a photo of my own. 🙂

Sometimes you’re just minding the precious things in life, like a handbag for someone special.
