Sunset at Carrigadrohid
The castle at Carrigadrohid stands on a rock in the middle of the River Lee, adjoining a bridge, giving the local village it’s name, after the Irish, Carraig an Droichid, meaning ‘rock of the bridge’. (Wikipedia) I’d never been before, but I went with Blarney Photography Club to photograph this scenic location last night. Luckily,…
Watch the sunset in Lisbon
The setting sun casts a lovely glow on the Igreja Paroquial da Graça in Lisbon. People up on a balcony in the church get a great view of the city and the sun.
Sunset at Ventura Pier
The waves roll in on the beach at Ventura Beach while the pier extends out into the sea. The pier was damaged in storms and closed in early 2023, but still made for a great subject at sunset. I have so many photos of this pier from that night. I’ll be posting photos of it…
Transparent Legs
On a busy street in Valencia, I took photos of the passing traffic under a cloudy sky lit by the setting sun. Another tourist decided they wanted to photograph the same scene and somehow failed to see me crouched near my camera. It wasn’t until his companion shouted at him to move that he obliged…
ICM of sunset water
An ICM of the sunset reflected in the waters near Crosshaven last May.
The Port of Cork
The PORT OF CORK sign welcomes any boat coming into the city, but it’s probably on borrowed time if development continues in this area on Custom House Quay. I made this from 3 separate images because I forgot I had my wide-angle lens in my camera bag. I was out with friends from Blarney Photography…
Long shadows at sunset
Lovely golden light casts long shadows on a street in Lisbon.
A crack of sunlight
There was almost complete cloud cover the other night over Cork as we attempted to photograph the setting sun behind St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells, as it’s known locally. A few minutes before the official sunset, the horizon caught on fire and briefly lit up. It didn’t last long, and the transition between daylight…
The afterglow of sunset
The sky is glowing red and orange after the sun has set, and the land and buildings in the foreground have been cast into darkness.
Tree Silhouette Sunset
Trees create silhouettes against the setting sun in West Cork this afternoon. The grand auld stretch of thirteen minutes and fifty-five seconds was very noticeable.
Motion Around the Eiffel Tower
Life is all around beneath the Eiffel Tower. Most people are walking but the people selling mini Eiffel Towers and other knick knacks to tourists are the only ones stationary.
The rooftops of Lisbon
The city of Lisbon lay before me as I looked out the window of my apartment. We had quite a view from the living room window, so one night I made this time blend photo of the city. In the background you’ll find the statue of the Sanctuary of Christ the King and the suspension…
