Silhouettes of Lisbon at Dusk
A glorious sunset over Lisbon in late 2023. The famous 25 de Abril Bridge is there, of course, as well as construction cranes nearby working in building sites.
The Calm Before The Day
The sun rose this morning a few minutes after 7am, but this is what the sky looked like about 8 minutes before. There was a glorious orange glow and the clouds were lit up from underneath by the sun coming around the globe and shining through the atmosphere.
The Three Sisters at Twilight
From Dooneen Pier on a lovely April day in 2022 I saw the Three Sisters off the distance. The sea was fairly calm, and the evening was warm for that time of the year. I think I spent a good hour wandering up and down the pier taking photos, until darkness descended, and I went…
A Chimney in silhouette
Many years ago, I photographed the sunset over the North Side of Cork City, using the silhouette of a roof and chimney as a foreground. This is so long ago that I used a 2MP Fuji, my second digital camera.
A Silhouette of a Sunset
The sun had just set beyond Dunmore Head, next to Coumeenoole Beach. I had arrived late, but in time to make a silhouette of the hill and catch clouds just peeping over the hill.
Horses on Sherkin Island
We were visiting Sherkin Island in 2015 when I saw a rider pulling another horse along with him. This was on Cow Strand, but I’d seen him riding on Silver Strand earlier in the day. A lovely, warm, August day just before school was about to start again.
The movement of sunset
On a day when there’s a storm blowing outside and the sky is a white sheet covering the land, I like to look at the beautiful colours of the sunset.
Sunset on the Seine
The sun setting over Paris last year reflects in the water of the Seine. Absolutely loved it.
Life Saving Devices at the Beach
A life buoy at the beach in Youghal. It was a fairly breezy day, just after the triathlon.
Reflections of the sky
The sun had just set, and this lovely colour appeared in the sky for a few moments, almost exactly a year ago at Inniscarra.
Sky High Vantage Point
A seagull resting on a very tall pole in Dingle, Co Kerry, with the setting sun lighting up the sky in wonderful colours.

I’m not a huge fan of wasps, but these three were part of the exhibit of statues at Castlemartyr Resort in Co Cork. buzzzzz! Fly away!
