When the River Lee Becomes a Mirror
The buildings at the end of Shandon Street reflect in the calm waters of the River Lee, Cork.
Sunset on the Seine
The sun setting over Paris last year reflects in the water of the Seine. Absolutely loved it.
Bridge over little water
The Cloghnagash River in Carrignavar (Carraig na bhFear) flows under a bridge at one end of the village and is where I went exploring recently. While June had been cold and somewhat wet, the river wasn’t very high, and I was able to get down near the river itself afterwards to get a few more…
Kennedy Quay Panorama
Kennedy Quay in Cork in February 2024 before the R&H Hall building was demolished. Look to the right, and you’ll see Albert Quay and the new buildings there. This whole area will look quite different in only a few years.
Reflections of houses in the Lee
The colourful buildings of Pope’s Quay reflected in the waters of the River Lee. Thanks Henry for noticing!
The Idle Hour on Albert Quay
Well, the Idle Hour, Navigation Square, 1 Albert Quay and the other pubs along Victoria Road. This was taken one morning early, just after the sun rose. I’ve taken this photo a few times over the years and I love the reflection in the River Lee, at high tide, like the buildings are floating at…
Rowing past the ships
On a quiet October morning in 2016, I travelled into town as I saw there was fog forecast, and I wasn’t disappointed. While I was photographing the boats lined up along Kennedy Quay, a single rower came up the river. He quickly glided past my position along the river, but I grabbed a few photos,…
Rowing on the River Lee
A rowing boat on the River Lee on a warm August evening 2022. The lovely warm glow of the sun shines on the grass nearby, but the river bank opposite is in shadow.
The Cathedral on the River
Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral in Cork sits just above the River Lee, towering over nearby buildings. I took this photo from South Gate Bridge on a lovely evening recently.
Surfing on the Isar
I had a fantastic time in Munich with my team recently. We explored the city and enjoyed its sights and sounds. But the most surprising and thrilling thing I saw was in the city park. As we walked along a path, I heard a roaring sound of water. I peeked through the trees and saw…
On the Onyar River
The Onyar River flows through the city of Girona in Spain. Photographed in August when I was surprised to see any water at all considering the dreadful drought that hit Europe in the summer. Colourful buildings line the banks of the river and the Cathedral can be seen in the background of a clear blue…
The Eiffel Bridge
The Eiffel Bridge (Pont de les Peixateries Velles) over the Onyar River in Girona is an eye catching red bridge. It was built by Gustave Eiffel, just before he built the Eiffel Tower in Paris. There appears to be a few Eiffel Bridges around the world, and strangely enough, this one isn’t listed on that…
