A winter break
While the country was moving from Covid-19 level 5 restrictions to a more open Level-3 I needed to head west to prevent some burst pipes. Since I brought my camera I could hardly not capture the first snow of the winter over Maumtrasna. While many chose to make straight for the reopened stores, I can’t…

Turbary Woods, Owl and Bird Sanctuary
We came across the Turbary Sanctuary today and paid a visit between rain showers to see if we could meet the resident birds of prey. We just missed the flying display but got the spend some time with the birds and their handlers and even one new owner of a young African Spotted Eagle Owl.…

Acueducto del Águila
Acueducto del Águila (Eagle Aqueduct), also known as Puente del Águila (Eagle Bridge), is regarded across the region as “an historic jewel of Spanish architecture”. It was built in the 19th century and has been used continuously since – today the local community uses it to irrigate farmland. The aqueduct is situated on the Barranco…

Frigiliana
Today we explored the streets of the nearby mountain village of Frigiliana. The bright afternoon sun was obviously a bit harsh for photos, but this place is very charming and I still had to take a few shots. I’ll be back, sunrise and sunset no doubt to try and do this town justice.

Playa Maro Sunset
This evening I returned to the same beach we enjoyed earlier today to see if the light on the headland held up to it’s earlier promise. When I arrived this time, the shadow from the cliff to the west was already half way down the beach, so I did not hang around at the car…

Nerja
On our evening stroll exploring the old town of Nerja, we ended up at Bacóne de Europa and came across the team from Tricor Design, who didn’t mind me taking some portraits of their Flamenco Dancers posing on the steps. Looking forward to seeing a full Flamenco show later this week in Nerja.

Croatia with SummersAbroad
Just on my way home from an amazing three days photo vacation organised by Rachelle Summers and her #SummersAbroad team! I still have 1800 images to process but so far I am super happy with the set and themes and variety of shoots organised and challenging me to push further outside my comfort zone in…

A Quick Mayo Tour
I drove from Dublin to Clonbur, Co. Galway on Saturday afternoon with no real photography plan. I started with the evening sunset on Lough Mask which didn’t yield great sunset sky, but I managed to try and make the most of what I found. On Sunday morning I decided a hot day sitting in a…

Abstract textures
So ambling along in the woods today I inadvertently released the shutter and produced a pleasing abstract image (above). So I took ten minutes to create a few more slow shutter speed creations while moving the camera in various directions in the forest. I think the result make a nice collection of textures or maybe…
