Mobile phones are handy, but you miss the world if you’re looking at them. My wife will laugh when she sees me say this.

Many years ago, on a cold January day in Arizona we came across a small yard where metal works were being sold. One of those was an unusual metal robot with a red and white hat on it’s head, saying “LET IT SNOW”. It didn’t snow, but it was cold at night!

On a lovely evening in August 2020, we were visiting Dingle in Co. Kerry. A walk out to Hussey’s Folly is always on the cards, I think this evening was the last time we saw Fungie too. He was swimming in the bay, just off shore, surrounded by boats, as he always was.

Where in Cork are these Christmas lights?

The sky is glowing red and orange after the sun has set, and the land and buildings in the foreground have been cast into darkness.

A woman poses for a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. There’s rain in the air and others are sheltering under umbrellas. I have my camera out on a tripod to take photos, of course!

Shandon Bells, seen from a slightly different perspective than the one at Bell’s Field we’re used to. It’s surrounded by houses and roads, and even by the nearby brewery, of which you can see a small portion of in this photo.

A cyclist on the Marina in Cork reads a sign showing some of the improvements to be expected as work progresses on improving that road and the surrounding.

Trees create silhouettes against the setting sun in West Cork this afternoon. The grand auld stretch of thirteen minutes and fifty-five seconds was very noticeable.

The very colourful Buga Ramen in Valencia is eye catching. The food is really nice there too, but you might have to wait at busy times!

Sometimes all you need is an umbrella. When it’s raining, it’s the best thing.

Christmas lights line a wall heading to Abbeystrewry Church in Skibereen, Co Cork. Brightening up a dull, overcast, day with a cheery glow.
