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…
Damrak by Night
The Damrak in Amsterdam is a street in front of the main railway station of the city, where you can see the beautiful reflection pictured here. If you’re lucky, the water will be as still as it was the night I photographed it. The reflections of the houses there are eye catching!
The Boats of Youghal
These boats were tied up in Youghal when we visited in November 2021.
Reflections of houses in the Lee
The colourful buildings of Pope’s Quay reflected in the waters of the River Lee. Thanks Henry for noticing!
The Atlantic Pond in Reflection
I love walking by the Marina and sometimes walking around the Atlantic Pond. Most of the water was deliciously calm this afternoon when I visited.
The Idle Hour on Albert Quay
Well, the Idle Hour, Navigation Square, 1 Albert Quay and the other pubs along Victoria Road. This was taken one morning early, just after the sun rose. I’ve taken this photo a few times over the years and I love the reflection in the River Lee, at high tide, like the buildings are floating at…
Rowing past the ships
On a quiet October morning in 2016, I travelled into town as I saw there was fog forecast, and I wasn’t disappointed. While I was photographing the boats lined up along Kennedy Quay, a single rower came up the river. He quickly glided past my position along the river, but I grabbed a few photos,…
Water bouncing on the apples
Water bouncing off apples in a sink, a little experiment I did twenty years ago in 2004. I need to do more of that.
Still Water and Blue Sky
One afternoon while we were in Valencia we visited the Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe on hire bikes. There were huge crowds there, taking selfies and hanging around, but with a long 20-second exposure they all (mostly) disappear into a blur. In the photo above you’ll also see the Pont l’Assut de l’Or bridge…
The Ballincollig Regional Park Weir
The weir in Ballincollig Regional Park collapsed in 2014, but this photo was taken many years before that, in 2003. Repairs to the weird have been delayed over and over again, unfortunately.
Red and Blue and a Bike
In the back of a taxi, looking out through a window laden with drops. The warm red and orange lights from street lighting and the rear brakes of a Tesla win against the cold, almost blue headlights of a passing car.A bike in the background belongs to someone who isn’t home yet.
A bridge over reflections
Early one morning in Valencia, before the sun rose, I travelled to the Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe to photograph the area. Pictured above is the CaixaForum next door, with the graceful arch of the Pont l’Assut de l’Or bridge in front of it. They are reflected in the waters surrounding the science museum….
