Irelands Eye
Ireland’s Eye, just a short rowing boat ride off the coast of Howth and still full of deadly, deadly seagulls. Damn those seagulls.. Damn them all to hell.
Growth
Taken a lifetime ago, this vibrant blue moss grows from time to time on the half dead trees at the Gearagh, just outside Macroom in west Cork. To the best of my knowledge, the Gearagh is a man made lake, created by the construction of the hydroelectric dam further down the river Lee, just outside Cork city. I am open to correction though!
In The Wild
A sometimes violent blustery wind blowing through the crops in a field a few hundred yards from Hook Head lighthouse in Wexford.
Chubb
Under lock and key at Kilmacurragh in Wicklow. So much more interesting than your average padlock!
The Stables
The decaying stables at Charleville Castle in Tullamore Co. Offaly. Taken during the now annual boards.ie meetup in 2008
Officers Mess
While doing the rounds in Edinburgh castle.
Treelined
Another from Kilmacurragh, that previously hidden spot in Wicklow.
Feathers Flying
There must have been a bird through here at some stage… Or at least part of one.
Trinity
One of the many photogenic spots in Trinity college grounds in Dublin city. Taken while strolling around with some fellow photobloggers.
Rotary
On board the Royal Yacht Britannia again, with old rotary phones and analog dials & switches as far as the eye could see. Retro heaven!
Stephens Monoliths
A big mad stony fence of a thing separating one corner of Stephen’s Green from the outside world. Especially ridgey and utterly fantastic. Dear God I need coffee…
Scrub Up
On board the Royal Yacht Britannia while partaking on a bus tour around Edinburgh. Not among some of the finer details on the immense ship, but certainly the most photogenic… (my kinda photogenic anyway!)
WWMD?!?
Taken in some pub off Stephens Green at a ‘photoblogger meetup’ just before the blog awards last year. It’s that time of year again, the time for blog award nomination lists to be announced, for people the length of Ireland to start sprucing up their blogs of all kinds and getting ready for the big night out in Cork next month. More importantly, it’s the time of year when we all ask ourselves, WWMD?
A Walk in Avondale
Taking a walk in Avondale forest/park/forest park in Wicklow. Appears we weren’t the only ones that came out to see the mountains of fallen leaves.
The Ents
Trees, like some you’d see in a horror film, standing in the grounds of the Botanic Gardens in Dublin. I feel that before too long, I’ll become an authority on all things botanic and gardeny. Not a bad thing perhaps?
Like Rick, But With No Banter
Getting into the act a bit late but nevertheless… For those of you that still don’t know, RTE has taken the curious decision of a screwing with the format of three slots, Rick’s, Nikki Hayes and Will Leahy. As someone who’s both listened to these shows for a while and actually had the pleasure of being in the studio during a show, I can’t begin to understand how RTE thought this was a good idea. There is already a lotRead More
Light Entertainment
A lighting tutorial session that quickly turned into a disorganised messing session at Charleville Castle in Tullamore during the boards.ie trip last year. Posting has been light due to lack of broadband (being sorted) and lack of photos (lack of broadband is killing motivation to process). Will have to get to a beach this weekend for some inspiration. As you may or may not have seen, nominations for the Irish Blog Awards are being taken until the 14th. I’m notRead More
Wonderful Construct
Last one of the year, a quick post while getting ready to go out on New Years Eve. Also possibly the last one of the roof of the Glasgow Botanic Gardens I’ll post for a while. I’ll try to keep my roof fetish down to a dull roar in future. So, 2008 is on the way out and 2009 will be with us in a few small hours. No resolutions, just hopes and wishes. Whatever you’re up to tonight, haveRead More
White Gold
Possibly the last photo I’ll post before the true nature of the festive season jumps us all in a dark alley. Currently without broadband after re-locating, hopefully I’ll get a connection to the outside world early on in the new year. So in case I’m not back before the first of the first, all of y’all have a great Christmas, a good new year and a moderately acceptable 2009.
Rolling Frosty Hills
One more from Glasgow before I pack the laptop up with the rest of the boxes. Somewhere on the Loch Lomond drive I think (open to correction) there was a parking spot with a convenient amount of picturesque frozen stuff within spitting distance. Course, if you had spit, it would have frozen instantly and you’d have been left with an icicle hanging off your head. But I digress… Next post will be from wherever I can scab broadband from forRead More
