Photo: Geese Over Dublin West

This photo of a large flock of Geese flying over Dublin West I took last week while out with the dog. I’m weak on Geese but I think they’re Barnacle Geese. They caught my eye flying from over Chapelizod to Ballyfermot but then did a 180 degree turn.

Photo: Moss, Sunshine and Frost

I’m one of those people who likes moss so much it takes great discipline to resist taking hundreds of photos of the stuff. But I’ve probably taken a few dozen. This shot was of some moss in Lucan by my studio, taken as I went down to the village one cold morning for some milk.

Studio Re-Roof Status

Just a post to let everyone that the studio is still not back in a condition to accept visitors. The scaffolding went up in November, and the roof was taken off over 7 weeks ago. Throw in Christmas, the snow, burst pipes, and a technical matter relating to guttering, and I’m still not yet back [...]

All The Photographs

I’ve put together a page of photos.
It highlights many of the individual photos I regularly post, and also links to collections and collages that I’ve posted on other sites as well as here on Bicyclistic.
The plan is to link up more collections, including many from my travels that have yet to be posted anywhere - [...]

Photo: Half Moon Over Snowy Roofs

We’ve been here before. Blue sky with moon, roofs with snow, and all carved into shapes by wires. We’ll be here again.
For what it’s worth I tend to spend a large part of my life looking around cropping in my head images like this. I rarely actually photograph them though, let alone post them online.

Photo: Snow View

My little American dog used to enjoy watching the snow in Kansas City, so yesterday in Ireland Dog-Dog was very much at home. If you know what I mean.
Not so deep that I used a dustpan to dig her a trail where you’d only see her ears like in the US, but still enough [...]

Photo: Snowy Sunset Dublin

Much as I don’t like being out in the snow (I really don’t, so don’t go trying to convert me), I am enjoying a lot of the images it throws up. The skies especially have me frequently entranced.
Thanks to walks with the dog I have a fair few photos like this one looking towards [...]

Photo: Howth From Dún Laoghaire

Howth Head. There’s better views of it, in the clearer sense, but I like the excitement you get when you first see it through something. This was a ridiculouslly nice weekend in September.
It’s impossible of course not to like walking on either pier but I like the visual mess that is Dún Laoghaire by the [...]

Photo: Mobile Pub Conversation

When you spend a lot of time thinking about going into pubs you tend to see a lot of what happens outside of them.
This Dublin pub is on Parkgate Street on the edge of Dublin’s city centre.
