Oscar and the Swans
A much younger Oscar in 2006 by the Lee Fields.
Bay Bridge at Night
The Bay Bridge in San Francisco as it was in 2007. I can’t believe that was seven years ago. Wow.
Parnell Place Bus Station
Parnell Place Bus Station and Brian Boru Bridge, Cork at night.
The big wheel in Cork
We went into Cork City to see the big wheel on The Grand Parade this evening. It was freezing cold but a huge crowd was out braving the frigid temperatures. There were long lines for the wheel and had it been earlier I might have gone up there to take some photos but the wheel…
Gone fishin’ in the morning
Sunrise on the wharf in Santa Cruz, California just over a month ago.
Sunrise in Playa Blanca
Playa Blanca lies on the southern coast of the island of Lanzarote. It’s a beautiful town, built entirely with tourism in mind. Sunrise wasn’t what I had hoped it would be. The sun is blocked by the new Rubicon Marina (it’s so new that Google Maps thought we were swimming in the sea when we…

The waves of Santa Cruz
Waves crash on the beach in front of the hotel in Santa Cruz where Automattic recently held a company meetup.
Early morning Santa Cruz Wharf
This was the view from my hotel room at The Dream Inn, Santa Cruz last week. Seems like a million miles away now, but in fact it’s only about, oh, maybe six thousand miles. Anyway, I was there with almost all of Automattic for our annual meetup. It’s a fabulous location, the early morning light…
Roche’s Point Lighthouse
Roche’s Point Lighthouse, at the mouth of Cork Harbour. I shot this from Camden Fort Meagher last weekend. It was a glorious day and as you can see the fort has a commanding view of the harbour! More about the lighthouse can of course be read on Wikipedia.
St Patrick’s Bridge
St Patrick’s Bridge in Cork spans the River Lee at the top of St Patrick’s Street and leads on to Bridge Street on the northern bank of the river. Here it is on a particularly cloudy day a few days ago! More information on the bridge can be found here.
