The yellow glow of sunset
I walked out my front door last night and spotted a fiery sunset behind the houses across the road. The colour slowly changed over the next ten minutes as the sun sunk further and further beyond the horizon. I took 151 photos of the sky that night, most of them taken with me waggling my…
Fifty Shades of Mountain
Mountains on the German/Austria border stretch off in the distance as the Alps cut through this region of Europe.
Prepping for a 70th birthday
Two women carrying balloons and a large fake champagne bottle up the steps of a narrow lane. Bet they had a party that night!
Construction of the Camden Quay Hotel
The old site of the hotel on Camden Quay is being redeveloped. It’s gone through many phases over the years, and it’s soon to be a 3 star hotel.
Sailing past Roches Point
A sailing boat sails past Roche’s Point Lighthouse at the mouth of Cork Harbour. It was a lovely August evening last year. The days were long and the sun was shining!
The view from St. Peters in Munich
St. Peter’s Church, or Alter Peter, in Munich is the tallest building in the vicinity. Local regulations prohibited building taller buildings except for a few years a while back when ugly glass office blocks were built a few kilometres away. That’s the Frauenkirche, a large gothic church in the middle distance. So, you get a…
All you need is love, JFK
Late last year I visited Youghal on a Sunday. Most of the shops were closed, including this one but the display in front caught my eye. JFK is still highly regarded by many people who don’t know how unfaithful he was to his wife, and maybe they do know and ignore that part of him….
The Valentia River Viaduct
The now unused viaduct over the Valentia River in Co Kerry caught my eye away back in 2019.
A Collie in Gougane Barra
When I went to Gougane Barra with Blarney Photography Club a few weeks ago, I met the cutest collie ever. He was so chill and friendly, and he had this gorgeous white and brown fur that matched the scenery perfectly. I think he works at the hotel nearby, but he didn’t charge me for his…
Selfies and Greetings
Edinburgh Castle in Scotland is a huge attraction for tourists and on the day I was there it was busy. It was a gorgeous day, with the sun beating down. I really like this photo as I photographed two couples. One couple taking a selfie to remember the day, and in the background an older…
Happy Henry
As I walked past Phil O’Sullivan Electrical, I noticed Henry, the vacuum cleaner, sitting on top of an old fridge. He looked happy, but it also made me wonder if he was okay. I mean, how could a vacuum cleaner be happy without his hose? Maybe it was lost or misplaced, and that’s why he…
Dawstown Point to Point, 2023
I had a great time today at the Dawstown Point-to-Point horse racing event! The races started at 2 pm and continued until 4.30 pm, and I went with some of my buddies from the Blarney Photography Club. We positioned ourselves near the second last jump, and it was a super fun day filled with lots…
