The Istanbul Skyline
This is part of the Asian side of Istanbul in Turkey. My first time in Asia too, even if I only ventured a few kilometres in! Our guide said they’re trying to encourage more people to live on this side of the city, but from what I could see, it stretched on almost to distant…
Scooter Delivery Through Historic Streets
We were walking up a narrow street near the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul when I heard a bell of a scooter ring out. The crowds parted and a young man on a scooter with a foot on heavy looking bags zipped past at speed! I can’t imagine that was a smooth ride on those cobbles…
A Splash of Colour
This is the sort of contrasts you’ll see in Cork City during the Jazz weekend. Loads of people dressed to go out for the night, surrounded by shoppers and families dressed for a late October day. The music on the street was great!

The Rock Orchestra in Cork Opera House
We went to see The Rock Orchestra play in the Cork Opera House last night, and they were a blast! Hopefully, these photos will help capture some of the excitement of the night. It’s well worth going to see them!
The October ’24 Aurora
Yesterday, I noticed that Henry was warning us (in Blarney Photography Club) that there was likely going to be a great display of aurora borealis that night. I’m recovering from a cold, so I was just going to stay in and watch TV, which I did. Nothing was going to get me out into the…
A Stag and his hinds
I visited the National Park in Killarney, Co Kerry, today to photograph the deer with other members of Blarney Photography Club, and a few friends. There weren’t many stags or deer to be seen, apart from in a field up a hill beyond the Castlerosse Park Resort golf course. We found this stag near the…
For a crust
A European Starling plays with a crust of toast in Dún Laoghaire a few weeks ago. This one might even be the same bird I photographed recently, but the local café was open again and so there was food on the menu for the birds. 🙂
Recycling Cardboard
Someone struggles with a trolley full of cardboard. It looks like it may be about to fall over!

Light shines vertically
In Sandycove Store & Yard a few weeks ago and it was a beautiful afternoon. The sun shone through the open roof, making it a lovely place to stop for a coffee and treat.
Sunset on the M8
On the way back to Cork last night, I left the M8 on an exit near Cashel to stop for a few minutes. We parked by a field and I spotted this tree so, with a beautiful sunset showing the last of its colours, I got a few photos.
