So much red
While waiting to cross the road on Grand Parade, I saw a man hurry across the road, dragging a black suitcase. He was in a rush, in contrast with the family in front of me who were checking for traffic before crossing. I love all the red in this photo. Her dress, his t-shirt, their…
A rainbow on the horizon
Here is something you may not have seen before. Horizontal rainbows or “fire rainbows” are a rare phenomenon that happen more often closer to the equator than Ireland is. Here’s one I photographed off Ardmore, in Co Waterford. Nobody noticed it until they saw me with my camera pointed towards it!
The Violinist and his audience
I was in town this afternoon and walking up Oliver Plunkett Street, came across Ryan Parsons, a very talented violinist busking on the street. A sizeable crowd gathered around behind me, enjoying the music. The gentleman in the background of this photo was evidentially enjoying the music too, waving his hand in time with the…

The Colours of Sunset
The last week has been fairly wet, with cloudy skies, so I thought an ICM of a sunset sky would brighten up the day. Another one that was taken just outside my home. The black parts are the roofs of nearby homes.
Curves and Colours

Readers with even better eye sight will have noticed that I replaced the image I uploaded yesterday with a slightly different version today. Call…
Fireworks on Spike Island

Red 6
No 6 in Kinsale recently. I loved the red colour and the contrasting white/cream door and windows.
The Old Bank House of Kinsale
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…
