The Bus Station at Night

Parnell Place Bus Station in Cork. Pictured a few nights ago. Thanks Henry for the pointers on shooting this scene!

The boats of Gougane Barra

Another early morning sunrise photo at Gougane Barra with Blarney Photography Club. Way back in 2016 I published a similar photo but the Gougane Barra boats were swapped. They’ve been there quite some time!

Stormy Clouds Over The Beara Peninsula

Storm clouds rolled in as I tried to shoot the sunset from Sheep’s Head. The sun had already dipped by this time and I was rushing to get a few photos before the rain came. Luckily there was time but ominous clouds were overhead as I ran back to the car at the last minute!

Oh Look! The LÉ Samuel Beckett

I was photographing a paddle boarder off Fountainstown Beach this evening when suddenly a ship sailed into the viewfinder. It’s the LÉ Samuel Beckett sailing into Cork Harbour at a quick pace. She crossed the distance visible from the beach quickly but I’m glad I got a few photos of her!

Sunrise over Muckross Lake

An early morning drive to the Lakes of Killarney this morning resulted in an eventful trip for Blarney Photography Club today. Rain didn’t spoil the sunrise, but a trip afterwards to the Gap of Dunloe didn’t go so well with a literal storm blowing up between the hills. The photo above is from Dinis Cottage…

The Lights of the Grand Excelsior Hotel

Swans on the River Lee

Two swans swimming on the Lee by the Lee Fields this evening.

BOVID-19

On one of the remaining phone boxes on St. Patrick Street, Cork.

The Curve and a Tree

Walking back to the main building of Quinta da Roêda in the Douro Valley, Portugal in 2019. This tree was probably the tallest in the immediate area.

A Duck on the Lee

Just a duck swimming on the Lee upriver from the County Hall. Lee Fields, Cork. May 2018.

The Oldest Bridge in Ireland

The oldest bridge in Ireland is claimed to be this bridge built by St. Patrick in the 6th century. It’s on the grounds of Moville Boutique Hostel in Co. Donegal. I say “claimed” because there are others such as the Esker Bridge in Dublin and this one in Trim. Who knows? The hostel is lovely…

The Sunset Tree

If you’ve ever been to Kinsale and looked across the water at the houses on the waterfront this tree sits in the garden in front of one. I stood just outside their driveway and caught a lovely sunset behind it one lovely July day 2019. Yes, there is a bird in the photo too.
