The Passage West to Monkstown Run
The bike might be a little small but it got him to Monkstown in the end, I hope.
Mahon’s Radio Tower
Twenty two years separate the two images here. The first one is a photo of the old radio antenna tower in Mahon and it was taken in 2003. Back then cattle grazed in the field the tower stood in. That tower was dismantled around a year ago. There’s an interesting Reddit thread here about it….
The Working End of Gardening
The allotments next to Ballincollig Regional Park need storage for various things, but I doubt the cabinet in the photo above is used for much any more. Videos I watched recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua35WJFTOwc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omzk8al09xg
Another One Bites the Crust
Meet London’s most successful entrepreneur. This seagull has cornered the market on prime real estate with a view. Perched on the Millennium Bridge like it owns the place, this feathered opportunist represents everything brilliant about urban wildlife adaptation.

However, flower sellers must still navigate…
A Little Privacy
When there’s CCTV everywhere and you just want a little privacy to check your phone, you have to hide from the cameras.
The Flying Train
When you can take the train, you should probably take it rather than flying.
Ballycotton’s Beacon on the Island
The lighthouse on the island just off the coast by Ballycotton is always a nice subject for a photo. The night we were there, we hoped to photograph the moon rising behind the lighthouse but a large bank of cloud covered the horizon.
Biking Home After Dark
Someone was going to be cycling home after dark from here in Kinsale.
ÉALÚ emergency exit
An emergency exit sign spotted in the first floor window of a building in Kinsale, Co Cork. Despite the shadows, the sign gives a clue to the internal floor plan of the building. It looks a bit out of place, but it has to be there. Georgian sash windows like this one were originally designed…
Cobh Shines Bright Over Cork Harbour
Cobh, a few minutes before fireworks lit up the sky last month.
