A Couple and a Heron
While visiting Castletownbere I noticed two herons on the pier. They had a right ol’ fight. They were very aggressive! One flew away but this one was more adventurous looking for food.

The Weir in Ballincollig Regional Park
On a particularly foggy morning in December 2002 I wandered around Ballincollig Regional Park. I photographed the weir that morning in the mist. Wasn’t much to be heard except the rushing of the water.
Some fifteen years later the centre of the weir would collapse. The OPW may rebuild it at a cost of over €1m. Hopefully that happens.

The Barren Gap of Dunloe
The Gap of Dunloe in Co Kerry in February 2007. I was up there recently and it couldn’t have been more different. A storm blew down the valley making life miserable for anyone walking the roads or trying to take photos of this scenic area.

Love on the Lee
St Patrick’s Bridge in the background, pictured from Mary Elmes Bridge. A love lock on the fence but thankfully there aren’t many on it. Love locks are a serious problem for structures as they add unplanned weight.
Happy holidays! Hope you had a nice day today!
