A speedboat, at speed, races past the more sedate Naomh Ciaran II on our way to Oilean Cleire, or Cape Clear. You can see the island itself in the background!

Another shot of the Mulroy Bay II as it lay in shallow waters in Baltimore Bay.

Another shot of the Electric Wires warning sign I posted yesterday. This one gives you a flavour of the landscape in the area, and the desolate, remote location of the sign.

If you've ever taken the Naomh Ciaran II to Cape Clear Island this sign will be familiar to you. WARNING ELECTRIC WIRES 60 FT (18 Mtrs) OVER HIGH WATER LEVEL PS. The cheezburger are the latest blog to use the Thieving Duck. Hope they link back to the original post. PPS. They did, saw a...

Mulroy Bay II, one of two trawlers abandoned in the waters near Baltimore town in Co Cork, Ireland. Shot from Tullagh Cemetery. PS. Calvin took a few nights shots of the Mulroy Bay II a few days ago when local artist Sheelagh Broderick and others lit up the vessel with high powered lanterns.

Some of the final riders who passed through Blarney during the Tour of Ireland race last week.

Rain has been pouring out of the heavens all day with little break. Here's my neighbour's car shot through the windscreen of my car this evening. Just back from acupuncture, need to shoot something not sharp to counter the needles I watched being put into my feet and hands, never mind the ones I didn't...

A little knowledge goes a long way. It better. I've read all these magazines and most of the books here but have I absorbed all of it? Hardly. I've since almost given up on buying photography magazines because they repeat the same old guff year in year out. Possibly with the exception of Black and...
