  1. 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.

  6. 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 Swi...

  7. 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 […]

  9. 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!

  10. Evening Light on Sheep’s Head

    Sunset on the north side of Sheep's Head last night, looking over towards the Beara Peninsula. I didn't expect much colour, but a break in the clouds let the light through. It was gone within minutes, but not before I had shot it dozens of times!

  11. Sitting in the Sun at Bantry Market

    The van was parked side on to the sun on a warm February day in Bantry last year. Sun shone for a brief moment and I caught a moment where he looked up from his phone.

  12. The Stones Arches of Ballydehob

    The tide was full, and the water had gone completely flat, so the stone arches came out twice in the frame. We were lucky. The weather back home in Blarney was atrocious, with rain falling from cloudy skies.

  13. Enamel Signs and Jugs

    He didn't seem too bothered about making any sales. Enjoying the day instead.

  14. Access at Own Risk

    The rain was falling steadily as I photographed this sign on the Sheep’s Head peninsula.

    Curious about the sign, I looked up The Anchorage and found this for sale page saying it was recently sold, but an archive.org copy from 2019 shows the seller was looking for €695,000 back then.

  15. RE: mastodon.ie/@JasonLee/11658381

    A few more of the recent tourer bikes about the place in time for World Bike Day.

    The couple with the first two bikes had made it down from Belfast and were on the way back up along the west coast. They’ve fierce headwinds all day today but they got in a good feed before tonights destination.

    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.

  17. 'Farbe: Grün (keine Pflanzen)' #FotoVorschlag heute

    Lucy will eine Patchworkdecke stricken, die aussieht wie Felder und Wiesen in einem irischen Tal. Ihr kleines Meisterwerk landet in der Ausstellung ›Kunst und Handwerk aus West-Cork‹ in Schull.

  18. Auf dem Weg zum Leuchtturm am Ende der Halbinsel.

    Der Sheep's Head Way in Südwest-Irland ist 146 Kilometer lang, aber hier sind wir vom Parkplatz aus gestartet, an dem Lucy sich in "Eine Tüte grüner Wind" als angeblich rothaariges irisches Mädchen bei einem Modeshoot Geld verdient, um Freund Martin aus der Patsche zu helfen.

  19. "From Feeling Alone in a Strange Place to Never Wanting to Leave."☘️

    📖 Dieses Rezensions-Zitat habe ich gestern meinem Jugendroman #TheGreenestWind angehängt. Quasi als Unter-Untertitel.
    Jedenfalls auf Amazon. Ob das auch für andere Buchplattformen möglich ist, muss ich noch herausfinden.

    📖Dazu in der Beschreibung eine goodreads-Leserin zitiert. amzn.eu/d/goHtjXl

  20. 🎶 "Regentropfen, die an mein Fenster klopfen …" 🎶

    Wie das Lied (der Schlager?) weiter geht, weiß ich gar nicht, doch diese Zeile kommt mir immer in den Sinn, wenn Tropfen klopfen, wie jetzt in Irland.

  21. Das alte Stella Cinema in Bantry mit dem Schriftzug "Saoirse Don Phalaistín" (Freiheit für Palästina).

  22. @clickhere Given the next decent coffee is about another 8 km away and after that… by way of the route, at least another 60+ if they’re timing meets the opening times. Wise lads. 🫣

    As one of the two lads said “we’re about 5% of the way in…” and off they went.

  23. It’s been a while since we last saw Thomas Deakin.

    This was a nice way to catch up with him and his buddy in De Barra’s last night… 😉🤩

  24. We took off on a miserable looking Monday, for a spin along the Beara Peninsula.

    We trusted the lashing rain would stop, it did, & we were left with muggy winds & grey skies, but dry for the rest of the day.
