I was there too
The horses in the field adjoining Castlemartyr Resort were a curious bunch when Blarney Photography Club visited last week, when they came over to us for a chat and a sniff of our cameras.
This one threw all caution to the wind and just kept eating, ignoring me, and enjoying his best life. Rightly so, too.

Two buckets are no match for an ephemeral cat in the shadows as it played with the light of the setting sun at Castlemartyr Resort last week.
The shadow of the cat is courtesy of the cat statue I posted recently. Again, well worth going down to see them, and for a stroll around the gardens.

I spotted a bike for hire that must have been dumped in the river for quite some time before being returned to the lock area. It was underwater so long that seaweed grew on it and tiny seashells grew on the pedal!
I presume it’ll be picked up, and hopefully cleaned up or recycled.

Hey! There’s a cat on the roof!
Just one of the statues displayed at the Art+Soul exhibition in the Castlemartyr Resort was one of a cat standing on a large key. I thought it might be nice to see if the cat can stand on the roof of the hotel. 🙂

When you visit the Castlemartyr Resort in Co. Cork, you cannot miss the waterfall in the river next to the entrance road. It’s a beautiful spot and well worth visiting!

The Panathenaic Stadium was not very crowded when we visited, but I immediately noticed a small group of young people taking photos of each other and added them to a photo of my own. 🙂

Two cats protect a narrow street in Athens, Greece. Tourists were milling around, talking loudly, enjoying their food and drink on a warm afternoon. Cars drove past nearby, but the cats didn’t move until a delivery man drove up on the pavement. Even then, they didn’t go far. The ginger fellow lay down to sleep nearby!

Cars weren’t going anywhere fast in front of the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece, the day we visited. A traffic jam extended far off in every direction.
An old Renault 4 caught my eye. An anarchism among all the modern cars around. In a city like Athens, where the ancient past seamlessly coexists with the present, the Renault 4 seemed oddly fitting.
