A couple of kilometres out on a kayak.
Not alone.
Behind me, across the bay, seal song sounded out from the caves.

Not for the first time, from somewhere a butterfly fluttered by, heading towards the shore. For what seems an impossible adventure.

Let’s continue here with some 2026 Ballydehob Jazz Fest photos.

The same year (2024) I made this photo which became this cyanotype of Stephanie Nilles (previous post), Thomas Deakin was also over on tour. That time with Bonnie Prince Billy.

Nice having them both back and as my neighbours for the week.

Next concert tomorrow - and the very first one we’re co-organising in Ireland with France Baroque and the Church of Ascension - will take place in the beautiful village of Timoleague, a place rich in remarkable history!

On the programme: “Les Folies Françaises” , in partnership with the community of the Church of the Ascension.

A beautifulmoment to share together in the West Cork region.

Hope to see you there!

Storm Light Over Owenahincha

Waves broke on the rocks at the edge of Owenahincha Beach a month ago.

Rocks in the Misty Surf of West Cork

The restless Atlantic waves become ghostly veils of white mist caressing the rocks on Owenahincha Beach, Co Cork.

Henry shared a photo of this same rock yesterday. There are lovely swirls of water in his photo.

Driftwood at Owenahincha

Last night Blarney Photography Club travelled to Owenahincha Beach to do some seascapes. We hoped to do some Milky Way photography later in the evening too but cloud cover got thicker and after some socialising in the nearby Celtic Ross Hotel we went home.

Bantry Market’s Most Diverse Stall

Traditional Catholic culture meets modern Irish culture in this stall. A statue of Mary holds a Cork flag, the red and white instantly recognisable by anyone in the County.

There’s something for everyone at this stall.

A Bantry Market Character

People of all ages come to the market in Bantry, Co Cork, looking for bargains.

A boat disturbs the water

As you may have seen over the last few days I was taking photos of the boats moored in Kinsale Harbour. Until another boat came along and sped past, disturbing the scene and rocking everything about. Still a lovely evening there, and it was about time to move on anyway. 🙂

Coastal Adventure in West Cork

Just a few months shy of ten years ago, we’d visited Sherkin Island and as we were leaving I spotted a man on a RIB talking to two others on their dingy. It was a lovely warm August day, just before school was about to start again.

In the background is the famous Baltimore Beacon, built in 1849 as a navigation guide.
