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/

Stall 27
Six people stood at the counter with their backs to me, all of them looking down into the glass case of amber and silver. The wall behind the stallholder was covered with icons and painted crucifixes right up to the arch, under lights warm enough to make the gilding glow. Nobody looked up at any of it. The icons cover the wall, but the jewellery in the case is what people came to buy. -
Low Tide on the Thames
Pull the river back a few metres and London grows a beach. I caught this stretch of Thames foreshore at low tide, the water was a proper builder's-tea brown, the City stacked up behind like someone had emptied a box of glass towers. I love springer spaniels, so I had to photograph this. -
The Cappagh Sentinel
The sun had risen about 40 minutes before and we were about to leave Cappagh Beach on the Dingle Peninsula when I saw a tree silhouetted against the sun.

Festive Commerce in Cork
Brown Thomas on Patrick Street, Cork, is all lit up again for Christmas. On Oliver Plunkett Street they’ve put up the usual decorations and they look fabulous!

Killarney’s Red Deer Decoration
A stag digs up the grass to decorate his antlers in Killarney National Park a few weeks ago.
Antler entanglement with vegetation is a common occurrence during the red deer rutting season and is primarily caused by a behaviour called “thrashing,” where stags violently shake their antlers against trees, shrubs, and ground vegetation. This behaviour serves multiple purposes: it helps remove the dried velvet that covered growing antlers earlier in the season, it deposits scent from glands near the eyes onto vegetation to mark territory, it demonstrates strength and aggression to rival males, and it creates visual displays that attract females. During peak rutting activity, stags may thrash vegetation dozens of times per day, and the force involved can uproot small plants entirely, strip bark from trees, and break substantial branches. The Irish name for red deer, “fia rua,” literally means “red deer,” and historical Irish texts frequently reference the autumn roaring season when stags’ bellowing calls could be heard echoing across valleys. The physical demands of rutting are so intense that stags typically lose 10-20% of their body weight during the season, as they spend most of their time and energy on reproductive behaviours rather than feeding. Killarney’s native red deer population represents Ireland’s only surviving indigenous red deer herd, genetically distinct from Scottish red deer introduced elsewhere in Ireland, making behavioural observations like this particularly valuable for understanding the ecology of Ireland’s original red deer. The autumn rut typically peaks in October, which means stags spend about 4-6 weeks in this heightened state of activity, after which successful males are often exhausted and in poor condition heading into winter, requiring the entire spring and summer to recover condition for the following year’s rut.

A Storm Gathering Over Kerry’s Fear Marbh
Storm clouds gathered on an August evening on the Dingle Peninsula. I was hoping for a nice sunset, and the sun briefly appeared, but this was a few minutes later. Strong winds started to blow and I had to hold on to my tripod to stop the camera from shaking and potentially falling over!

Trans+ Pride London 2025
An estimated 100,000 people joined the Trans+ Pride event yesterday in London as they marched from near BBC Broadcasting House, past Downing Street, and on to Westminster Palace to Parliament Square Gardens. It was spectacular & emotional to watch.
“The message was clear: we will not be erased. Our existence is natural, historic, and enduring. You can try to take away our rights, but you will never remove us from society. We are a part of humanity, and the public will not stand by while harm is done to our community.”
Lewis G Burton, one of the founding members of London Trans+ Pride

Keeping an Eye on the Youngsters Below
The tower of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells, towers over the surrounding buildings and is visible from the big wheel on Grand Parade.
Behind it is the North Cathedral and the distinctive roof of the Firkin Crane is off to the left. In the foreground is the brand-new Capitol building.
First time on the big wheel. Nice view from up top. Thanks Henry!
