Storm Light Over Owenahincha
Waves broke on the rocks at the edge of Owenahincha Beach a month ago.
A Milkcap in the Galtees
We took ourselves to Kings Yard near the Galtees today, and walked up a nearby trail next to a river. It was lovely there, so quiet except for the sound of the rushing water! There weren’t many mushrooms around yet but we spotted a bunch of them near the end of our walk and I…
Showdown The ELO Experience at Cyprus Avenue
The ELO Experience played in Cyprus Avenue in Cork last night and they were fabulous, playing many deep cuts as well as The Electric Light Orchestra’s greatest hits. The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the night and they announced their next gig there in May next year!
A colourful sunrise
It was one of those mornings where the sun shone on the clouds from below the horizon and filled the sky with fiery colours! I’ve been working on a WordPress plugin called Cloud Cover Forecast. It will show you the low, mid, and high clouds for a particular location in a block on your site….
The Working End of Gardening
The allotments next to Ballincollig Regional Park need storage for various things, but I doubt the cabinet in the photo above is used for much any more. Videos I watched recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua35WJFTOwc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omzk8al09xg
Window on the City
From the car park on North Main Street, Cork, you can Bruce College and St Mary’s Dominican Priory. I liked how the stark lifeless concrete frame of the multi-story car park contrasted with the variety of materials and colours in the world outside.
Another One Bites the Crust
Meet London’s most successful entrepreneur. This seagull has cornered the market on prime real estate with a view. Perched on the Millennium Bridge like it owns the place, this feathered opportunist represents everything brilliant about urban wildlife adaptation. While Freddie Mercury sang about another one biting the dust, this gull’s motto is clearly “another one…
Carey’s Lane After Dark
I was out with Blarney Photography Club during the summer and one member of the club kneeled to photograph Carey’s Lane. I went high and lifted my camera over my head to get it from a different perspective! Carey’s Lane is one of Cork’s oldest medieval streets, originally part of the walled city that dates…
Roses on Westminster Bridge
Westminster Bridge is one of those places that is always bustling with tourists. It is so busy. Westminster Bridge is one of the few locations in central London where street vendors can legally operate without special permits for certain goods, thanks to historic trading rights that date back centuries. However, flower sellers must still navigate…
A Little Privacy
When there’s CCTV everywhere and you just want a little privacy to check your phone, you have to hide from the cameras.
Ballycotton’s Beacon on the Island
The lighthouse on the island just off the coast by Ballycotton is always a nice subject for a photo. The night we were there, we hoped to photograph the moon rising behind the lighthouse but a large bank of cloud covered the horizon.
Biking Home After Dark
Someone was going to be cycling home after dark from here in Kinsale.
