The tall ship Windy is the official flagship of the City of Chicago. Appropriately named.

Lots of boats in the harbour at Kinsale.

The container ship Elisabeth left Cork yesterday at 17:19 on its way to Southampton in the UK. Here it is rounding the bend by Blackrock Castle as it heads into the harbour and out to sea.

A heron walks along the weir by the Lee Fields, waiting for fish. A heron waiting for fish to swim past on the weir in the River Lee. While on an outing with Blarney Photography Club to the Lee Fields, we were lucky enough to see a very patient heron attempt to catch his dinner….

A fisherman sits on a fallen tree in the middle of the River Lee by the Lee Fields. He eventually left with no fish.

A fish jumps out of the water of the River Lee by the Lee Fields in Cork a few weeks ago. Most of the fishermen gathered on the banks had no luck. The fish were after the little flies buzzing over the water!

On a beautiful October afternoon in Ballydehob and the last thing I needed to worry about was swans, unlike an unfortunate day in 2004 when they didn’t like me taking their photos.

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.

On a family holiday in Dingle earlier this year.

A few minutes after the sun set over Lanzarote in the Canary Islands in January 2019.

A lovely morning looking out at the Lakes of Killarney. October 2021.

Go for a walk past Crosshaven by the water’s edge and you’ll find this vantage point. Lovely evening for some photos.
