Me in a barometer…

‘What we're talking about is late night and early morning low clouds
With a chance of fog
Chance of showers into the afternoon
With variable high cloudiness and gusty winds’

T. Waits - Emotional Weather Forcast
A close-up photo of the face of an early 19th century barometer, by Lione & Somalvico of 125 Holbrn Hill, London. My reflection is in the glass of the barometer.

Dating from 1172, when Strongbow & Archbishop O’Toole began its construction, the interior of #Christchurch Cathedral is mainly Victorian, due to renovations carried out in the 1870’s by G.E. Street

The leaning north nave wall is due to a roof collapse in 1852

I’ve not been down in Dingle for ages, but am looking forward to getting back there in the next few weeks.

Here’s one from Chapel Lane, with the tower of St. Mary’s peeking over the rooftops.

#Dingle #Kerry #Ireland
A photograph, taken on a small country lane, with stone walls on either side, and a grass growing in the middle, looking towards Dingle, Ireland. There are 4 ESB poles in the foreground, with wires connecting them. In the distance, the tower of St. Mary’s church can be seen over rooftops in the town. The photo is taken at night, stars can be seen in the night sky overhead.

We were treated to the musical highs of The Next New Low’s latest release, the Unreachable, in Walsh’s last night.

Brian was accompanied by the brilliant Daniel Luke & Lizzie Murtough…what a gorgeous evening in the parish.

Somewhere out there in the gloom behind the Baily lighthouse, was a rising lunar eclipse. Unfortunately this was the only light I could see.

The rising moon is a fickle muse…

A photographic view, looking east from Doldrum beach towards the Baily lighthouse, which stands on a rocky headland.the photo is taken at nighttime, and the lanterns light is pointed directly towards the camera.

I’ve been trying for years to capture a full moon rising behind these towers on Cape Clear.

As I saw the moon rise over the horizon I began to laugh manically, knowing that after all this time it had finally worked out for me…

#CapeClear #OileánChléire #Ireland #WestCork #FullMoon #BuckMoon
The full moon rising between two towers on Cape Clear island, off the west coast of Cork. On the left a signal tower built during the Napoleonic wars, on the right the old lighthouse, designed by the great George Halpin, built in 1818 & abandoned in 1854. The full moon is between both, at the height of the top of the towers. The silhouette of a buzzard can be seen flying in front of the moon.

#Stoneybatter #Dublin
A photograph of a cat, standing on a head-high window cill. The cat is rubbing its side against the pebbledash of the wall on the right hand side, and is yawning with its mouth open very wide. In the background is the junction of Arbour Hill and Manor Street, making the cat appear enormous in the foreground of the image.

Soft evening in the neighbourhood…

#Stoneybatter #Dublin
A photography, looking up Manor Street, at the junction of Arbour Hill (just to the left). It’s a beautiful summer evening, very little traffic, and the sun is setting over the rooftops, dramatically illuminating the clouds overhead.

My plan for the moon the other night got messed up at the last minute, necessitating a scramble to an alternative location. Happy with what I managed to salvage; looking south on Olaf St. with the Strawberry moon rising over the neighbourhood

A photograph, looking south on Olaf Street, Stoneybatter. A terrace of single storey cottages terminates the vista. One light is on in a cottage to the right of center. A streetlight is on, to the right of the image, and also between the two cottages at the centre of the image. In the distance is the spire of St. Augustine’s church on Thomas Street. Above it, and to the left, is the full moon. Telephone wires cris cross the street above the rooftops. A photograph, looking south on Olaf Street, Stoneybatter.

"I was just passing the time of day with old Troy of the D. M. P. at the corner of Arbour hill there and...who should I see dodging along Stony Batter only Joe Hynes.’

#Bloomsday2025 #Ulysses #Stoneybatter #Dublin
A photograph looking westward at the junction of Manor Street with Arbour Hill in Stoneybatter, Dublin. On the right is a mid 18th century brick building which has been painted black. At ground floor this is a bar called the Belfry, with 2 floor of accommodation overhead. The building has a straight parapet to the street, and a chimney piece is visible to the right of the building. On the left corner is a smaller, but equally old building, previously a hairdresser unit at ground floor, with a corner entrance, with an apartment overhead. A heritage street lamp stands outside the building. Arbour Hill goes west from here, and comprises of a mix of single and two story houses. A slight turn to the right is visible at the center of the image.

A very faint & nearly full moon rising over #Dublin city yesterday evening, in glorious sunshine

#PinkMoon
A photograph of Dublin, taken just after 7pm from the Sean Heuston Bridge, looking east along the Liffey, with a number of city landmarks in the scene; in order, from front to back is the cast iron Rory O’More bridge, the arched James Joyce bridge, the tower of St. Paul’s on Arran Quay, the currently scaffolded dome of the Four Courts, the former central bank building and the newly repainted chimney stacks of Poolbeg way off in the distance. To the upper right of the image is the rising full moon, the Pink Moon, just about visible through the strong sunshine.

I was a child when I last entered the incredible Hintze Hall of the Natural History Museum in #London, with a 25 meter long skeleton of a blue whale suspended overhead.

My sense of wonder was unabated as I returned here after 40 years…

#NaturalHistoryMuseum #Architecture
A photographic view taken at first floor level of Hintze Hall, the grand entrance of the Natural History Museum in London. The hall is dominated by a striking display of a blue whale skeleton, which hangs from the ceiling. This massive skeleton, suspended high above the hall floor, is a symbol of the museum's vast collection of natural specimens. The hall itself features soaring ceilings, intricate stonework, and large arches that give it a cathedral-like feel. The natural light pouring through the stained glass windows adds to the space’s grandeur, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The hall has been a focal point of the museum since its opening in 1881.

Another from the rising Worm Moon, by the Bailey Lighthouse in Howth.

#Ireland #Dublin #Howth #FullMoon #WormMoon
A photograph, taken just after sunset, looking at a coastal headland in Dublin, Ireland. The Baily lighthouse sits on the headland, comprising of the lighthouse tower and substantial three and two storey outbuildings. The light from the lighthouse is shining out to sea. The rising full moon is above and to the right of the lighthouse. The light from the moon and the lighthouse is reflected on the sea below.

Night lights - full moons can be such a fickle muse, but not last Friday evening when I had the pleasure to witness the Worm Moon rising by the Baily Lighthouse. It’s a sight that will stay with me for a long time to come.

Another from my visit to Sandymount beach the other night, on my unsuccessful search for the northern lights…

#Dublin #Ireland #Photography
A night time photo, taken on Sandymount beach, looking towards the Poolbeg towers. To the left is the Dublin waste incinerator, sending plumbs of smoke from its chimneys off to the right and over the towers, which are located in the center of the image. To the right, the lights of Clontarf and Howth are visible, off in the distance across Dublin bay. The tide is out, and little pools of water between the rippling sand reflect the scene above

I went looking for some northern lights from Sandymount beach last night. No joy unfortunately, but lovely to get out there none-the-less.

The aurora are a fickle muse…

#Stoneybatter #Dublin #Ireland
A night time photograph of the Lilliput Press, an independent publisher of Irish related literature. The building is on a corner and is an early 20th two-storey brick building, with a flat roof. At ground floor there is a corner entrance and large windows on either elevation. There are two windows at first floor level, with one of them illuminated from a light in in the apartment up there. On the left is the gable end of a brick two story house at the end of Viking Place. There’s a STOP sigh just to the right of it. Just to the left of the Lilliput Press, is Sitric Road, with a long terrace of two storey brick houses heading off in the distance.
