Fireworks Lacking Colour
We waited hours for the fireworks on Spike Island yesterday and, of course, I have loads of photos of the event, which will be posted here in due course. Here’s one photo, done a little differently, but I like the effect the lines of the fireworks in the air made in the air. Removing the…
Seaside Adventures with a Buggy
When the family is enjoying themselves, leave the buggy close by. A lovely day in Dún Laoghaire when Sandycove was thronged, but people made the most of the day, even if the area was a little rocky.
The look of a cat
Hoppy, curled up and asleep one afternoon, looks over at me in curiosity. No, I didn’t have any treats. Back to sleep she goes.
Paddleboarding with his dog
I was in Dún Laoghaire today on a beautiful afternoon. Sandycove Beach and the Forty Foot were both thronged with swimmers and people relaxing. I wish I brought my togs and a towel, but I had my camera and snapped a photo of this gentleman with his dog out on the water, paddleboarding!
A cat on a car roof
A tabby cat on a car roof, down a narrow street in Athens. He watched us carefully as we walked past, but he’s obviously used to people and didn’t budge at all, even as a stopped and took a few photos of him.
Laughing and chatting
Two women enjoying a chat while seated on a bench by a canal in Amsterdam. It was a lovely afternoon.
Water flows into water
The Mullinhassig waterfall flows in a long exposure shot, on a recent visit there with Blarney Photography Club.

Far above the waterfall at Mullinhassig, I found small shoots and leaves growing out of a tree trunk.
Photos at the Conor Pass
A family stopped at the top of the Conor Pass to take photos of each other on a glorious July day in 2022.
Queuing for the train
The metro station at Monastiraki Square in Athens, Greece, is rarely quiet, and we arrived just as people were getting on the train.
That’s a steep hill
The Old Youghal Road takes a steep dive right next to Bell’s Field, but there’s a lovely view. No wonder he stopped for a moment to admire the view on a sunny evening a few years ago.
The Rocks of Ballycotton
The rocks of Ballycotton with the sea breaking on them reduced to a fog by a long exposure photo. Ballycotton Lighthouse is visible in the background on an island a few hundred metres offshore. I was there last night with Blarney Photography Club. A lovely evening taking photos and then a bit of a chat…
