Cycled over to my friend’s bookshop in the next village for an ‘In Converstion with’ artist Mollie Douthit and author Sara Baume for a launch of ‘Opening Night’ by Sara.
The book centres around the author & artist meeting and the contours of that friendship.

Guarding the Beacon

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.

The Photographer and the Cliff

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 pu...

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!https://inphotos.org/2026/09/01/evening-light-on-sheeps-head/

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.https://inphotos.org/2026/08/30/the-stones-arches-of-ballydehob/

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.

Roses for Sale, Bantry Market

A Quiet Evening in Kinsale

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. -
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.

"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. https://amzn.eu/d/goHtjXl

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. 🙂

Masts and Mirrors
I visited Kinsale recently with Blarney Photography Club. Many photos were taken all around the town, but I went down the quay to start with the boats mooored nearby.

Red Cans and Boat Plans
Twenty years ago, I visited Baltimore in Co Cork and photographed these people coming from a boat in the harbour. They were in great form, with smiles all around. 🙂

In diesem kleinen Laden würde die leidenschaftlich gern strickende Lucy aus #EineTüteGrünerWind bestimmt gerne nach Wolle für ihre Patchworkdecken stöbern.
❓ Wer kann entziffern, wie der Pub gegenüber heißt?
🧶 🧶 🧶 🧶 🧶
Lucy in #TheGreenestWind is passionate about knitting. I am sure she would love to browse in #Bantry Yarns for wool for her knitted patchwork throws. 😊
Can you work out the name of the pub opposite?🍻

I’m sitting outside Budds cafe with a couple of friends when an almighty cacophony, a murder of Crows appears over the rooftop of Mary Margaret’s shop across the road.
Something is definitely going on.
Watching them I walk around the back of the shop, curious to find out what exactly…
