  5. Our beautiful Irish language is more consistent than English because it has borrowed less from other languages than English - which is like a magpie!

    Irish has been influenced by other languages, including Latin, Old Norse, Norman French, and English.

    The Irish word 'Bád' (boat in English) has its origin in the Norse word 'Bátr'.

    Focail Gaelach as Lochlainnis ó dhúcas: bád. Is teanga álainn í an Ghaeilge ach bhí tionchair inti ó theangacha eile.

  11. The Capital of Culchies

    Twenty years ago Emmett Place in Cork was full of skateboarders jumping over ramps and very very close to a couple of photographers like me. I got some nice shots of them that have appeared here over the years but I missed this one, somehow!

    Twenty years ago. Cork in 2005. I wonder where they are now?

  13. Black and Blue

    A striking blue wall on Dykegate Street caught my eye, especially in the bright sunlight that cast a stark shadow across it.

    Dingle is located in the heart of the Kerry Gaeltacht, one of Ireland’s officially designated Irish-speaking regions where Irish is the community language. The bilingual street signs throughout the town reflect this status, with the Irish name “Sráid an Daighide” appearing first, followed by the English “Dykegate Street.” The tradition of painting houses in bright colours in Dingle dates back centuries and was originally practical – helping fishermen identify their homes from the sea. Today, these colourful buildings have become one of Dingle’s most distinctive features, with strict planning guidelines ensuring that the tradition continues while maintaining the town’s unique character.

  25. There’s something about city streets at night, the glow, the energy, the stories unfolding. O’Connell Street in Dublin has it all. Wistful sigh!

    Do you have a favorite city to wander after dark? Bonus points if it's Dublin. 😉💚

    This cute little terrier saw Diego, my chihuahua, and of course needed to make friends with him. 🙂

    Dogs are the best!

  29. Looking for #Dolmens around #Ireland is pretty fun. You usually find them off the beaten path and sometimes you have to venture into a farmer's land while cows look at you to find them. (Farmers are generally cool about this so long as you're respectful). Meehambeen Dolmen in Drum Co. #Roscommon is easy enough to access and there is some information stands along the way.
