Red 6

The lovely deep red of a house with the number 6 on it's door. Two windows can partially be seen above and to the right of the door.

No 6 in Kinsale recently. I loved the red colour and the contrasting white/cream door and windows.

The Old Bank House, or Old Bank Townhouse is a 5 star hotel, right at the busiest junction in Kinsale. I’ve walked past there loads of times, drove past there more times, but I never noticed the 5 star designation.

The Google Maps reviews for this establishment are very positive, although it comes as no surprise that some guests have mentioned the presence of noise.

The Homes of Kinsale

The homes and businesses of Kinsale seen from the hill opposite.

If you’ve been to Kinsale you’ll be familiar with the centre of town but behind those businesses are the homes of local residents, stretching up towards the top of the hill.

It’s a lovely town, full of history and of course great food, so well worth a visit. 🙂

A Swallow Murmuration

A murmuration of swallows flies past a pole.

Swallows flew back and forth in a group, known as a murmuration. This was a small one but impressive still!

The Crow and the Swallow

A crow and a swallow. The crow is standing on top of a pole while the swallow flies past.

A crow stands on top of a pole as a swallow flies past him. Those swallows are really hard to photograph, so I zoomed in on the top of the pole and just watched the pole, without looking through the camera. When I saw a swallow fly close, I hit the shutter button hoping burst mode would take help me catch it in flight!

Horse is a picky eater

A horse in a field turned his head as if in disgust at eating something unpleasant

Down by Garrettstown Beach in Co Cork I spotted a horse in a field. He was by himself and I went over to say hi, and take his photo.

He’s obviously had enough of people taking his photo, or maybe he ate something unpleasant, to judge by the look on his face. 🙂

Construction Cranes on Horgan’s Quay

Construction Cranes were on site among the new buildings of Horgan's Quay in Cork. The River Lee is flowing in the foreground, crossed by Brian Boru Bridge nearby.

Back in 2019, and Horgan’s Quay was in the middle of development. Cranes were overhead, and the whole place was a building site.

Shadows and Sun

The sun shines on the headland opposite Dingle in Co Kerry. Clouds cast a shadow over the fields on a glorious sunny day. The water of Dingle Bay is visible in the foreground.

We were walking out towards Hussey’s Folly outside Dingle when I looked across Dingle Harbour and saw the sunlight travel across the opposite headland as clouds moved away.

I love seeing light and shadow on a landscape so I grabbed a few quick shots.

The Boats of Glandore Harbour

Boats dot the water outside Glandore Harbour and one comes in to the quay.

Glandore harbour in the summer of 2019. Mist rolled off the sea on this day but had mostly faded away by the time I got there. However, you can see it in the distance, clinging to the land in the distance.

A Wine Strand Sunset

A road curves off into the distance towards some parked vehicles on a headland. Water is visible to the side and the sky is turning orange at the horizon as the sun has set

The road to the end of the headland by Wine Strand in Co. Kerry curves off into the distance. Parked vehicles are parked there as people enjoy the evening.
