New Year, new challenge. Sat with Emma (daughter) oil painting the other evening, something that I haven’t done in a wee while. Very calming and enjoyable few hours…

The Mourne Mountains from Newcastle Beach this afternoon. Stunning N Ireland

The image depicts a stunning coastal landscape with a wide, sandy beach at low tide. In the foreground, three figures are walking on the reflective wet sand, accompanied by dogs. The beach stretches toward the horizon, reflecting the vibrant sky above.

The sky is a blend of dramatic hues, transitioning from golden yellow tones on the left to deep blue and gray clouds on the right. In the background, a range of dark, cloud-shrouded mountains rises dramatically, adding depth to the scene. To the right of the mountains, faint structures, possibly houses or a small settlement, are visible near the shoreline.

Like a #Christmas Bauble, the "Rise" Sculpture sits on the flat meadows on which the west link road runs over from the motorway into Belfast. Love the lights of the houses behind it - like a Christmas nativity scene at Bethlehem.

In a world of high tension, this is the most dishonest form of click bait.

#Belfast A dramatic view of Belfast City Hall from the Grand Hotel under a moody sky. The historic architecture meets modern urban life in the heart of Northern Ireland.

Aerial view of Belfast City Hall, a grand historic building with a domed roof, surrounded by the city’s mix of modern and classic architecture. The scene is under a dramatic cloudy sky, giving a moody atmosphere to the urban landscape.

Standing in the shadow of history at the Colosseum in Rome. A cross rises amidst ancient ruins, a poignant reminder of faith, resilience, and the stories etched into these stones. The clouds may loom, but the light always breaks through. #Rome #Colosseum #History #Faith

A dramatic view of the Colosseum in Rome with a large, dark cross in the foreground. The ancient stone structure stands partially intact, with arched openings and weathered walls. Dark clouds loom overhead, but a beam of light breaks through, casting a glow on the scene. The image conveys a sense of history, faith, and resilience.

Love the Balls on the Falls, the 'Westicles' or the 'Rise Sculpture' I think theses are the best Christmas Baubles about on a dark cool night like this - absolutely class with the lights shining like stars behind. Love it. East Belfast looking towards west Belfast. @barrabest.bsky.social

Craigmore Viaduct , Bessbrook, Newry Co.Down.

The Craigmore Viaduct, bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun, transforms into a breathtaking spectacle that captivates all who behold it. This historic railway bridge, with its 18 graceful arches, stands majestically against the backdrop of the fading daylight. The golden rays of the sun cast a soft glow on the stone structure, highlighting its architectural elegance and the timeless beauty of its design. As the sky transitions from vibrant oranges and pinks to the deep blues of twilight, the viaduct becomes a silhouette, a striking contrast against the colorful canvas above. This serene moment, where nature's brilliance meets human ingenuity, is a serene reminder of the harmonious blend of history and natural beauty.

FF and FG on 42% combined is a new low for parties who once commanded upwards of 75% of the vote -and it’s an old vote. SF lost almost 6% overall on last time, more than 20% of their voteshare. Talk of an accelerated path to a UI was not a priority for this electorate. Green longtermism penalised

It could be a photo from the beginning of the last century, if not for the mobile phone, trainers and water bottle. Marrakech is a wonderous city.

Heritage, Lenaderg, Co.Down. Pleased to see that this wee corner shop and telephone box are in the throws of renovation at the minute. Can't wait to take picture of the restored building for comparison. #heritage #streetphotographer #northernireland
