The old Howth Harbour Lighthouse

Following on from yesterday’s photo of the new lighthouse in Howth Harbour is this one of the original lighthouse. It sits at the mouth of the harbour and according to Wikipedia was built in the early 19th century.

The new Howth Lighthouse

If you walk out to the end of the pier at Howth Harbour, you’ll find this tall, thin building. It’s the “new” lighthouse, and has operated there since May 19th, 1982.

Running from the shop

Walking along Henry Street in Dublin a few weeks ago, and I saw these two lads coming out of a shop in a hurry. I wouldn’t even have posted these, except the second guy seems to be quite a character!

My 2020 Spy

Far back in time, to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, a film called My Spy was due to appear in cinemas on March 13th, 2020. Unfortunately, the country went into lockdown on March 27th. This photo was taken in May that year. Adverts hadn’t been changed in most places. Hoardings still had the same…

Robin on the Ground

A few weeks ago, I visited Blarney Castle to take some photos of the Autumn colours. Unfortunately the light was dull, and the ground was wet, but I had my tripod with me, so I set it up for some long exposure shots. After a few minutes of that, I noticed a flicker out of…

Sparklers! 2 for €3!

A man selling sparklers on Henry Street, Dublin on Halloween this year. He promised that 2 for €3 was better than in the shops where they are 1 for €2, and he was right as we were in a Eurogiant later on! We didn’t buy any sparklers. He had plenty left over when we passed…

Jokers & Witches

Just some Jokers and witches on O’Connell Bridge in Dublin on Halloween night. I stopped the Jokers for a photo, and the two witches wanted to take part too!

On the bike in Girona

What I saw of the old part of Girona is one long pedestrianised road like you see this photo. It’s a long straight part here but then winds around to the area of the Cathedral. I did see a small van drive down there but they were at least careful. Pedestrians were number 1. Other…

The Northside Water Tower

The “futuristic” water tower that sits on Kilmore Road Lower in Knocknaheeny is seen from Bell’s Field in this photo taken in July this year. It was completed in 1972 and Councillor Gerald Yael Goldberg (1912-2003) described the water tower as ‘futuristic’ but predicted that it would ‘fit into the landscape’. I’m not so sure….
