The famous red double decker busses of London passed by as I took this photo of a building and advertising display back in 2008.

This year the ferris wheel is back on The Grand Parade, Cork for Christmas again!

A member of An Garda Síochána directed traffic in Blarney last night when Santa visited and the lights were turned on in the village. This is a long exposure zoomed shot, of about one second duration with the flash firing at the end of the exposure. To replicate: Make sure you set your flash to…

I discovered there’s an apple tree on the Waterloo Road near Blarney recently when I spotted apples on the road while out walking. Originally I thought I’d post this as a bright colourful photo but then I wanted to show off the texture of the fruit against the rough, stony surface of the road. Black…
