  1. Blarney Castle at sunset

    I shot straight into the sun, so Blarney Castle came out as a flat black shape with nothing left but the outline. Two birds had claimed some of the highest points while all the humans had gone home for the day. It was a lovely evening. Perfect time for silhouettes....

  3. A Song Thrush at Dusk

    The thrush was sitting on a branch in a cherry tree in the grounds of Blarney Castle late in the evening, and it stayed put long enough for a few frames. The next photo is a blur as the bird looked the other way, and the following photo is...

  4. A Song Thrush at Dusk

    The thrush was sitting on a branch in a cherry tree in the grounds of Blarney Castle late in the evening, and it stayed put long enough for a few frames. The next photo is a blur as the bird looked the other way, and the following photo is of a bare branch. The thrush had flown away.

  5. Blarney House at the End of the Drive

    Blarney House lies about 500m from the famous Castle, but I bet many of the tourists that come to visit the castle never go over to visit it, or walk around the grounds....

  7. Bumblebee on a cardoon

    The cardoons in Blarney Castle Gardens have been left to flower, which is what you do if you want bees rather than dinner. This one was about the size of my fist, and the bumblebee had worked its way into the lower edge of it, half buri...

  8. Bumblebee on a cardoon

    The cardoons in Blarney Castle Gardens have been left to flower, which is what you do if you want bees rather than dinner. This one was about the size of my fist, and the bumblebee had worked its way into the lower edge of it, half buried in the purple. I shot it zoomed in, so only a few centimetres of the florets is sharp and everything behind falls off to green. Some of the heads either side had already browned off and gone to seed, but the bees were busy feeding off the remaining ones.

  9. Blarney from Above in 2016

    Digging through the archive I found these two aerial photos of Blarney from September 2016, and the first one stopped me. See those fields that border the houses on 3 sides? They’re now Cluain Ard with houses, gardens, driveways, the lot. Back then it was still being far...

  10. Blarney from Above in 2016

    Blarney, from the secondary school and Woolen Mills to the Castle Digging through the archive I found these two aerial photos of Blarney from September 2016, and the first one stopped me. See those fields that border the houses on 3 sides? They're now Cluain Ard with houses, gardens, driveways, the lot. Back then it was still being farmed, with the older estates hugging the edges. The second frame is some of the village laid out like a model: the secondary school and its car park bottom […]

  11. We hit some landmarks (including St. Patrick's Cathedral, Guinness, Jameson, and Blarney Castle), but spent a lot of time wandering around, and enjoying all sorts of drinks and food. It was my first time in Ireland, and I loved it. I can't wait to go back!

  15. Griffins stand guard in Blarney

    Griffins sit at the points of the roof of the gatehouse at the main vehicle entrance to Blarney Castle. It's a private entrance, so if you're wondering where it is, go back towards the village from the tourist entrance and turn right across the bridge and go 20m down the road. It's on your right and you can't miss it.

  17. Blarney Castle can be seen above the trees of the surrounding area as the sun set last Thursday evening. Blarney Photography Club took the opportunity of a lovely evening to walk around the village and nearby to photograph the area. This photo is, of course, taken from Ring Wood, off Station Road.
