I fell in love today. You might not be able to see it but the one thing which struck me about the Boeing 787 Dreamliner which I was lucky enough to get to see today was how like the Shuttle’s its nose was. Really knocked me about a bit. Something in the expression of the windows. It’s [...] This is the beach in Duncannon, County Wexford, a small village with a fort, a lighthouse and a lot of places to stay. Last weekend it was over-run with kitesurfers. Seriously over-run. They outnumbered the abseilers and archers by about 35 to 1. The weather on Saturday, unique in the country I believe, was utterly atrocious [...] I think this was taken back at the end of May which is, rather worryingly, the last time I was out shooting kitesurfers (with a camera). I like this a lot because it shows how much the kitesurfing community shares the beach sometimes. You can see photographers, kitesurfers and above all, people who are just [...] Another occasional lighthouse, again, from Cork. They built a golf course on the Old Head of Kinsale so access is a bit more limited than it was in days of old. This was taken some time in March during my last traipse around West Cork. I actually got a few photographs I really liked while I was [...] It may be because I don’t have children [yet] but I don’t often notice the vast array of toys available for children at beaches for the most part. It may also be because most Irish beaches are a long way distant from shops. I’m *still* going through the photographs from Cornwall. There may be another tonight [...] The weather in Newquay today was not edifying so it’s just as well I tok a couple of nice photographs yesterday. This is one of them. The tides in Newquay are quite high and this little inlet is pretty much completely unimportant if the tide is out. If it’s in, however, it seems to grow in [...] Travelling laptop has already crashed once on me this evening and I am nowhere near done with the homework yet tonight. So fingers crossed no further trouble. What we have here is a Royal Navy patrol boat in Fistral Bay outside Newquay. I missed the drama plus I didn’t have long lenses with me, but he [...] There were some special celebrations at Dublin Airport yesterday for Aer Lingus’s 75th anniversary – yes, I was there and yes I took some photographs. So there will be a bunch of aeronauticals turning up in the next few days along with some kites.I feel like talking more too but I am in the process of [...] I don’t have a huge amount of time free right now – I should be at the beach but for reasons outside my control, I am running about 3 hours late. But I wanted to post this one photograph that I have out of yesterday’s run of photographs. The Iolar is a De Havilland aircraft, a [...] Lahinch. Lahinch has the best lifeguard station I have seen in this country. It’s not, for example, a temporary dwelling, sort of container box thing. It looks like it belongs in California, to be honest and it watches out over one of the most popular beaches in the country. Unlike Tramore, Lahinch is not full of [...] |
