Night at Monart
If you stay at Monart Destination Spa you'll see a fabulous fountain and the bridge in the background lit up like this at night. -

Wings Up on Cornmarket Street
A crow lifted off the top of the barrier around the old Paintwell shop on Cornmarket Street, Cork, as I approached to get a closer shot. Its friends had already departed, but this one was cleaning its feathers and only looked up a moment before this photo was taken.https://inphotos.org/2026/09/13/wings-up-on-cornmarket-street/

A Break in the Doorway
I spotted someone sitting in the doorway of a food truck in Rory Gallagher Place, Cork, and liked the contrasting colours of what I saw. -

The Photographer and the Cliff
The cliff below the Baltimore Beacon drops a long way, and the only way to show that was to put a person at the top of the frame. Luckily, a fellow photographer was busy doing the same thing I was doing. I walked over afterwards and spoke to him and his wife. They are Swiss, over on holiday in a camper van. He had the tripod set up right on the edge with the camera low down to capture the heather and gorse flowering along the lip. I never got his contact details, so if that is you, or you […]https://inphotos.org/2026/09/04/the-photographer-and-the-cliff/

The Beacon Through the Gorse
I got down low in the gorse to photograph the Baltimore Beacon, so most of the frame is flowers and wire rather than the beacon itself. A few groups came and went as I photographed the Beacon, but I don't think any of them stooped down low and put their camera in the gorse!https://inphotos.org/2026/09/02/the-beacon-through-the-gorse/

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. -

Under the Insurgents’ Memorial
Shot from below, the memorial's three bronze wings blot out most of the sky. A man in a grey hoodie sat on the granite wall at the base, hunched over something in his lap, tiny against the thing behind him. He'd picked the one spot where the monument stops being a monument and turns into somewhere to sit. Take him out of the frame and you'd have no clue how big it actually is. The Silesian Insurgents Memorial's three wings stand for the three Silesian Uprisings of 1919, 1920, and 1921, when […]https://inphotos.org/2026/07/22/under-the-insurgents-memorial/

The Tide Coming In at Youghal
A line of old groyne posts runs out into the sea at Youghal, the nearest ones capped in green weed, the far ones worn down to stubs. I used a long exposure to smooth the incoming water into streaks across the brown sand. The evening was flat and quiet, the sky a soft blue turning to yellow as the sun set. The posts have been here long enough that the sea has taken most of them.https://inphotos.org/2026/07/10/the-tide-coming-in-at-youghal/

Evening Sails at Kinsale
A grey evening in Kinsale, with a fleet of small boats out on the harbour for what looked like club racing. Most of them carried red sails, Squibs I think, a class Kinsale Yacht Club is well known for, with a few white ones mixed in. The water was almost flat, and the crews sat low and quiet as they worked their way across it. Behind them, the wooded shoreline climbed up to fields and houses on the hill, and a single dark-hulled yacht sat moored off to the side, sails down for the night. -

Perched and Patient
A heron perched on a boat in Kinsale harbour last year. Patient and watching. -
Youghal’s Wooden Sentinels
Groynes in the sand as the water rushes away to do battle with another wave coming in. The ever-present push and pull of the tide, defeated for some time at least by these wooden posts. -
A Quiet Evening in Kinsale
Even on a calm evening when I took this photo, a moored boat moves about if given enough time. This long exposure shows the slight movements that show the water isn't quite as still. There's no wind to speak of, the surface looks like polished slate, and yet the boat is nodding away to itself, tethered to that bright red buoy like a child trying to stand still for a school photo. -
Barefoot on the Dunes
We'd climbed up onto the dunes just as the weather turned. One minute it was postcard Fuerteventura. Bright sand, blue sea, the whole thing was beautiful and the next a slab of grey had slid in off the Atlantic and parked itself overhead. Suddenly we were running for our cars as rain pelted down. But that was 5 minutes into the future. For now people were enjoying the dunes in Fuerteventura. -

The Bookshop Pigeon
A pigeon had taken up residence in the Dubray Books window on St. Patrick Street, wedged comfortably between Michael Palin and a Lonely Planet guide which is frankly better taste in travel literature than most of us manage. It sat there among the carefully arranged display like it had been hired for the job, unbothered by the Black Friday signage overhead or the passers-by stopping to gawp. One woman paused mid-stride, peered through the glass, and you could see the exact moment the penny […] -

The Invisible Shift
A street cleaner with a bin bag in one hand, framed between a STOP sign and a no-right-turn sign. You couldn’t stage it better. I shot this from Drawbridge Street, watching the lunchtime crowd flow past him like water around a rock. What struck me was the contrast: dozens of people mid-stride, shopping or wandering around, and this one figure doing the quiet work that keeps the city ticking over.
His orange hi-vis jacket is the loudest thing in the frame, but he’s mostly unnoticed by everyone. The young lad in the camo jacket is walking towards me, a woman in a black top is mid-step, and behind the railings there’s a whole parade of shoppers who have no idea they’re in a photograph. I like that the two road signs bookend him: STOP on one side, no-right-turn on the other as if the street itself is giving him contradictory instructions. It’s one of those shots where the composition just fell into place, and all I had to do was not fumble the shutter.

Teenage Kicks Through a Tiny Screen
A hand went up three rows ahead of me and suddenly I had my shot. The Undertones were tearing through their set at Cyprus Avenue in Cork, the stage lights throwing fat circles of purple and magenta across the room, and this person decided twenty seconds of shaky phone footage was worth the effort. It gave me the frame-within-a-frame I’d been waiting for!
Everything around it dissolves into these massive, dreamy bokeh orbs that make the whole scene feel slightly unreal. I shot it wide open and let the background go completely, trusting that the phone screen would anchor the image. It’s one of those concert moments that sums up how we experience live music now. We’re half watching, half recording, the real thing and the digital copy sitting right next to each other.

Storm Brewing Over Dingle
Dingle Marina sat there looking calm and civilised. Boats were tucked in, masts upright, everything in order while the sky overhead threatened rain and hid any chance of a sunset from my vantage point.
Luckily, it didn’t rain. The sky just got darker and darker as the sun slipped further around the Earth. The low cloud was not illuminated by the magnificent sun as it descended so I made do with what I had.

Low Cloud Over Dingle
Low clouds lay over Dingle town on Friday evening but while it wasn’t the most exciting light, it had a lovely even light without deep shadows. It was a quiet evening with only a few people out walking their dogs and even a couple of tourists!

The Old Heart of Fuerteventura
This is Betancuria. Tucked into a valley surrounded by arid, scrubby hills, this tiny settlement was actually the island’s capital for over 400 years.
We didn’t have much time to explore the town, but it was really nice. Somewhere you must visit if you’re in Fuerteventura.

The Burger King Plane Comes In to Land
Look, I’m not saying Burger King has started its own airline, but the evidence is right there in the photograph.
The King of the Burger was coming to visit.
