I was there last night with Blarney Photography Club. A lovely evening taking photos and then a bit of a chat…

I have an orange t-shirt, but it’s not this lovely bright orange. I love that it matches the orange of the building, and then I noticed afterwards that he’s wearing light blue shorts! It’s orange and blue all the way down!
