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
A Walk By The Sea
Following forests gardens and I can’t remember what else, I needed to get back to the beach. Fully intend on visiting one specific beach on travelling back down to Cork for the Blog Awards next month. Mmmmmmm beach rubbish….
Dart to the Sea
Getting the dart down to the seaside, a summertime institution. It’s a little colder and a little greyer now at this seaside at least, but there are still people on the trains as proved by this discarded ticket. The 5D is off to hospital in the UK. I only had it a couple of months when I dropped it during a walk around a forest early last year. Since then, the battery grip had become looser up to the pointRead More
Pier Steps
Steps on the pier in Bray, Co. Wicklow. It’s easily been about 4/5 years since I was last in Bray and this time only decided to go there after a quite lost drive around Dalkey and Killiney. It was bloody cold and bloody windy, but I had to get the beach fix I’ve been after for quite a while. The coldness of the wind was soon forgotten after a nice hot chocolate from the happy pear in Greystones though!
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.
