It matters that Ireland is an island. That makes its past and present different from many other countries – The Irish Times
July 1972. I was 11 years old. In a country tense with uniformed killings and violent recrimination, my…

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...

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...

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...

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. -
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.

Am Strand habe ich nach dem Sturm 2 unterschiedlich große Münzen gefunden. Kupferfarben, scheint mir, aber Eisen(?)-verkrustet.
Wie entferne ich die Verkrustungen am besten? Die Bürste brachte nicht viel. Rostentferner?🤔°°°
I found 2 coins of different sizes on the beach. Copper-coloured, it seems to me, but encrusted with iron(?). What is the best way to remove the encrustations? A brush didn't do much. Rust remover?#Rost #Münzen #Numismatik #Strandfund #coins #beachcombing #WestCork #rust
