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…
A little doggy in her coat
I don’t remember what this dog’s name was, but she was so cute I asked her human dad if I could photograph her. No petting was allowed as she is the typical small dog and isn’t fond of strangers rubbing her. Not surprising really. Would you like giants rubbing your head?
Alone in the crowd

A Modern Sky
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.

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,…
All lit up in pink
The Parnell Place Bus Station in Cork is lit up from below by pink lighting. It’s a long exposure shot and a vehicle drove past during the shot. I wanted to get this shot and make sure that the red brick chimney to the far left was visible as it’s the most prominent part of…
I’ll have a pint
If you want a drink, there’s plenty of choice in Irish pubs. The taps above include Carslberg, Rockshore, Smithwicks, Guinness, Birramoretti, Coors, Heineken, and Murphys.
Property of Pipers
There’s no parking in front of La Scala in Crosshaven, and the no parking signs belong to Pipers. This time of year, Piper’s is fairly quiet, but hopefully in the summer they’ll be open again and busy.
Water bouncing on the apples
Water bouncing off apples in a sink, a little experiment I did twenty years ago in 2004. I need to do more of that.
