Dublin In Two Parts Divided

A shot from up high shows the deep water port and the shallow beach of Dublin Bay.

Niagara From Below

A rock shelter underneath Niagara Falls provides the opportunity to see the immensity of crashing water from close up.

Triangle of the Night

At the bridge into Ballycotton on the R629, a triangle formed by the river flowing into the bay shines into the dusk.

Horseheads, Nebulized

Storm Brian energetically peels back the surf of the waves at Ringsend, close to the South Bull Wall.

A Crowd at Lake Garda

A line of sails take up position at the foot of the Garda mountains.

Time and Tide

Sunset on the promenade at Lahinch, Co. Clare, while the tide rolls in.

Don Edwards Gloom

Sunset at Don Edwards wildlife park, San Francisco.

Vance's Harbour

Close to the Maretimo area of Blackrock, a number of buildings and special facilities were built for the property owners that the Dublin to Kingstown railway went through. This compensation was reportedly necessary to allow the railway to go ahead. In any event, the harbour directly beside the line, reachable at low tide, used to have a metal cross serving some nautical purpose which has now sadly broken off. Here we see it during a very blue sunset.

A Winter's Tail

Swans on the canal at Harold's Cross, Dublin, during one of the few snowy winters Ireland gets.

Diving Man

A man jumps off the quay at Bullock Harbour, Sandycove, on an unusually hot summer day in Dublin.

Killorglin Symmetry

The road bridge into Killorglin, taken from some rocks in the river. I was struck by its binocular nature.

Huntington Beach Sunset

On a work trip to California, I had occasion to stop by this place. The sight of oil platforms just off the coast is not a common one in Ireland, and something about the philosophical arrangement of the surfer's body and the light like an oilslick on the water caught my attention.

Inch Beach

The broad expanse of Inch Beach on a very cold March. Barely a human to be seen, but the birds are loving it.

Brandon Point Sunrise

Sunrise at Brandon Point, Co. Kerry. My friend Peter and I arose early to try to catch the dawn, but unfortunately the sun was shrouded in clouds for all but this fleeting moment. Ten seconds later the cloud had closed over again and the sun was not to be seen directly for most of the rest of the day.

Slea Head Sunset

Close to the westernmost tip of Ireland, the sun sets over the Blasket Islands.

Sunset at Whitby Strand

Howth Scratchings

A July sunset blends an almost perfectly still tidal outflow into Howth, Dun Laoghaire, and a wider horizon.
