Belem and Grace O’Malley in Cork

Belem, a French tall ship, was docked in Cork Harbour until 10am this morning. There was a mostly disappointing sunset last night, but the sky did light up briefly just at the horizon.

The masts and rigging of the Grace O’Malley, the new sail training ship can be seen in the background. It was a lovely evening to be out taking photos.

The Valletta Skyline

The Valletta Skyline

When we stayed in Valletta in Malta a few years ago there were several thunder storms. I hardly saw any lightning but dark clouds accompanied them and in the evenings blotted out the sun as it set over the city and The Grand Harbour.

An Fear Marbh at Sunset

An Fear Marbh, or Inis Tuaiscerat (Inishtooskert in English) is an Island off the Dingle Peninsula, Co Kerry. I’ve photographed it many times but it’s a picturesque area so I’ll photograph it many more times I’m sure!
