Day 312

I don't have a story about these apples; I just saw them on the way home and thought they looked good. Simples!

Day 291

To be honest, I just liked the light and the reflection of the screens in the bottle.

Day 257

A lovely sunny start to the day, and I took a wander around the retail park across the road from me. I was looking for a different view of Three Rock, but I couldn't find a good one. I did however find this image, in a small flood on an abandoned section of the development. By now you've probably realised that I like water and reflections.

Day 123

You see the strangest things in the desert. I've been to Death Valley before, and these signs are so totally incongruous they're almost funny. It's hard to imagine that the hottest, driest place in the USA suffers from flooding, but apparently it's a problem sufficient to warrant signs.

Day 97

Last night in Dingle tonight, so I drove out towards Slea Head to get a shot of the sunset. As always the weather in Dingle can make an idiot of you, but the sun did manage to poke through enough to get a bit of colour into this shot. That's it, bye bye Dingle!

Day 88

Back in Kerry, and the rain has been relentless. There's a gutter just outside my office window, and it always spits water out in a messy, undiligent fashion, and now I know why: it's a really crappy botch job. Holes drilled in a gutter do not a drain make.

Day 74

I moved in to a new house in Dingle today: holiday homes right in the centre of town. But I'm glad I'm not on holiday, because it is wet, very wet. These poor chairs don't stand a chance of seeing any action at this rate.

Day 72

One of those days where the weather changes from hour to hour, from glorious and sunny to cold and rainy. I'd set out to find a shot, but I wasn't too hopeful, and then I rounded a corner, and there was a gap in the rain clouds and a shimmer on the sea. The next five minutes was a race against time to find a good vantage point with convenient parking, and just as soon as I'd gotten this shot the light was gone and the rain was back.

Day 71

These flowers grow everywhere, they're like lovely colourful weeds. Oh, and it's raining again.

Day 68

What a beautiful day. Can't really say any more than that!

Day 65

Weather, weather, weather. Living in Ireland means you are surrounded by weather. And what a lot of it there's been today. I think that this photograph captures the Irish summer so far in a single image. A cloudy sky reflected in a puddle, all facilitated by a brief appearance by the sun.

Day 64

It's getting difficult now to find ways of creatively portraying rain. I thought that a composition similar to yesterday's would work nicely: this is a mini flood pouring over the kerb and onto the path around my apartment.

Day 59

The weather really is taking the piss now! Try as I might I can't face another rain photo, so where would I rather be? Why inside, with a cup of tea and a good book of course.

P.S. For the benefit of those curious, especially my Russian readers, the book is Life and Fate by Vasily Grossman.

Day 54

An opportunity to duck out of work for an hour today, so I drove as far as Ballydavid pier. The sound from this river was amazing as it ran under the bridge and into the sea. After some clambouring and some leaping I ended up dopwn at these rapids. I tried some slow exposure, but nice and all as they looked, they did sterilise the scene somewhat. A fast shutter was more in keeping with the scene.
