I woke up this morning, noticed a strange colour in the sky, so went out to investigate. Glad I did too...it was quite the start to the day. #Dublin #Stoneybatter #Ireland #Rainbow

Wide panoramic view looking west on Manor Street in Stoneybatter, Dublin 7, in the early morning light. A bright double rainbow forms an almost complete arc across a soft lavender and pink sky, framing Arbour Hill and The Belfry bar, a three-storey corner pub painted charcoal black with white sash windows and a tall chimney stack. On the left entrance to Arbour Hill is a two storey orange and ochre shopfront, with Arbour Hill itself heading away from the camera with a car approaching, headlights on. On the right, Manor Street curves into the distance past pastel-painted shops, a colourful "Stoney Batter" mural, ornate Victorian lamp posts and a Dublin City Council blue van. A few pedestrians are out, and a single bird flies high in the sky.

Well…that was quite the evening. Incredible to be living in the middle of the city, and to be able go a few minutes down the road, to the relative darkness of the Phoenix Park, to witness this extraordinary sight. #Dublin #Ireland #PhoenixPark #NorthernLights #Auroraborealis

The Wellington Monument, in the Phoenix Park, backlit with a spectacular display of the Northern Lights.

A faint, full Wolf Moon rising over the East Pier lighthouse in Dun Laoghaire, on a bright but freezing day last week… #Ireland #Dublin #DunLaoghaire #FullMoon #WolfMoon

A photo, taken in bright sunlight, of the stone east pier of Dun Laoghaire, with the sea water at the bottom of the image. A stone lighthouse featuring a bright red lantern room and railing is located towards the end of the pier. The sky is pale and hazy, with a faint full moon visible directly above the lighthouse, creating a quiet, atmospheric coastal scene.

There was a gorgeous sunset a few minutes ago, when the sky lit up, all too briefly, in blues and pinks...just moments later it was gone. #Dublin #Ireland

A photograph looking out through a first floor Georgian sash window to Baggot Street below. There is an illuminated star at the bottom of the window. Across the road is a Georgian terrace of 3 storey buildings. The sky above them is coloured dramatically with the sunset.

Tomorrow marks 800 yrs since the canonisation of Lorcán Ua Tuathail (Laurence O’Toole), Patron Saint of #Dublin A towering C12th figure, his heart was returned to #Ireland after his death in France & is kept in this reliquary at #Christchurch cathedral, where he laid the foundation stone in 1162

As a photographer whose work rarely involves people, I look in awe at the work of Martin Parr…such a brilliant observer of the modern world, in all its beauty and absurdity. R.I.P to one of the finest to ever hold a camera. #MartinParr #Photography

A photograph by Michael Parr called New Brighton, England. From "The Last Resort" (1983-85).

The image is set inside a battered seaside shelter, one of those open-fronted cast iron structures often found along British promenades. The shelter is dim compared to the bright light outside, which makes everything inside feel slightly shadowed and claustrophobic.

At the center of the composition sits a couple on a bench. They are close together but not interacting; each eating their own portion of chips. The man, with his legs crossed looks to his rightwith a slightly annoyed expression. The lady, in a beautiful coloured dress also looks to her right is wiping the corner of her lips. A flask sits on the bench between them.

Separated by a cast iron column to the left of the couple is a child in a stroller, laden with plastic shopping bags hanging from its handles. The child leans forward, reaching for its ice cream cone. A overflowing bin is attached to the column, and rubbish lies all around the ground at the column’s base, including numerous wooden forks given out to punters to consume their chips.

Behind the couple, to the right, outside the shelter, is a woman standing and pointing at something outside the frame.

A whole novel could be written about this image…

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 #Dublin #Ireland

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… #Dublin #Howth #Ireland

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.

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 #Dublin #Ireland #Stoneybatter #FullMoon #StrawberryMoon

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.

"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.

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.
