The sun sets on Ardmore Roundtower & Graveyard

We visited the graveyard adjoining the ruins of St. Declan’s Cathedral on our trip to Ardmore. The view from there out to sea and over the local town and beach is glorious!

The first time I visited here in 2005 I slipped while taking photos, my camera hit the ground hard and something broke inside it. Luckily I didn’t drop my camera this time, even though I did slip again. Only my leg was hurt but I kept my balance and stayed upright.

I found an informative walk through video made in the graveyard you should watch.

Surfing at Ardmore

A brave young man surfs the waves at Ardmore, Co Waterford this afternoon. It was freezing, cold winds sucked any warmth from exposed skin but this guy was out there battling the waves!

A Visit to Valentia Lighthouse

A trip to Valentia Island is not complete without a visit to the lighthouse on Cromwell Point. The lighthouse is still used to guide vessels through the northern entrance of Valentia Harbour past Harbour Rock.

There’s a guided tour of the lighthouse including of course a run down of the history of the area, and afterwards a nice cafe where you can have a refreshing cup of tea and a cake.

Ashling Murphy Memorial

Flowers and candles on the ground on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork after a vigil in memory of Ashling Murphy, a 23 year old woman who was murdered on January 12th this year while out jogging in the middle of the afternoon.

Violence against women is still happening. I don’t think it will ever stop. Fergus Finlay wrote an excellent essay saying, “I have turned a blind eye to cheap, vulgar sexism — it is all men”.

Sunshine at Warren Beach

The sun shines at Warren Beach near Rosscarbery in Co Cork last October. Some brave people ventured into the sea. It was a lovely day but not exactly “get into the sea” warm!

On my Phone

Outside Papeis Pintados, a shop in Porto near the hotel I was staying in with my team from work. I suspect this was taken after a hearty meal in La Ricotto right across the road. November 2019.

The Ferris Wheel on the Grand Parade is gone now but just recently a crow was checking it out to see if it was fun or not.
