I visited Kinsale recently with Blarney Photography Club. Many photos were taken all around the town, but I went down the quay to start with the boats mooored nearby.

Two hands intertwined, fingers gently clasped together as a couple watches the festivities unfold around them. The simple act of holding hands in public, something many take for granted, becomes a quiet celebration of love and belonging at Cork Pride. While this year’s event was smaller than last year’s celebration (perhaps due to the absence…

Two friends chatting on a street in Istanbul.

If you look up, you might see something towering overhead. Gleaming glass towers stretching up until they seem to pierce the clouds themselves.

Cows waiting to be milked in a field near the Coachford Greenway. It’s a lovely walk along the River Lee, opposite Farran Woods. I had an umbrella, and it was a good thing too, as it started raining about ten minutes later.

Copper Point Lighthouse sits at the end of Long Island outside the town of Schull in Co. Cork. If you take the boat from Schull to Cape Clear, you’ll pass by here!

I had no idea these beach huts were in Youghal until about a week ago, but I just love the colour and shape of each one.

Two men enjoying a chat at the Bantry market almost exactly a year ago this week.

An old abandoned house on the Sheep’s Head Peninsula in Co. Cork. This isn’t the first time I’ve photographed it. In 2017 it looked much the same, but not quite as overgrown.
