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.

Under The West-Link

A few photos for you of the stretch of the M50 that is the West-Link bridge over the Liffey Valley in Dublin. I took these underneath the motorway in a spot where, long before even the first carriageway was built, I used to play as a kid.
These were taken using the phone as I haven’t [...]

No Parking

Every day I cycle and walk past this prohibitive corner of Dublin. For years I’ve loved it, stopping to enjoy it even (though obviously not in car), and recently I thought I’d finally take a picture of it and share it with you.

The Doors of Dublin Lanes

Some photos I’ve taken in the back lanes of Dublin West.
There’s 40 doors in this collage, most of them garage doors. I don’t necessarily like or dislike graffiti, but I’m spellbound by painted out graffiti. Peeling wood and rusting metal I find impossible to dislike, and before all of that the painted squares and [...]

Zebras In Glass Houses

A photo of hell, if you’re a zebra who drinks whiskey. Or in other words, zebras in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Photo: Pilsner Urquell

A bottle left standing up is something I’ve always found difficult to walk past.
So you get to pause with me.
