Looks to be a creation of the brilliant Holly Pereira…she’s got such a distinctive style.

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.

A photo of 3 musicians performing in Walsh’s bar in Stoneybatter. In the foreground, Lizzy Murtough is singing and has a small Casio keyboard on her lap. Behind her is Brian Mooney, singing and playing guitar, and in the back is Dan Luke on another keyboard.

Or ‘Work’ perhaps…you should’ve signed 1,100!!!

That’s one of my very favourite albums.

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

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.

Ah, my mistake. It’s a long time since I read it, but I remember Bob Dylan’s book Tarantula (1971) being like that. A very unusual book…more like a stream of consciousness.

‘Little shoes, never worn’ comes to mind…often attributed to Ernest Hemmingway, but appeared in publications as far back as the late 1800s.

A short video, showing the transition from James Malton’s view looking north from Sackville St. towards the Rotunda and Parnell Square in 1795 and the same scene today

There’s actually two birds in there, if you look closely! I’ve been reliably informed that they’re buzzards…

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.

I am cat, hear me roar…

#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.

Andy Sheridan @andysheridan.bsky.social · Jun 17

This is amazing…

Andy Sheridan @andysheridan.bsky.social · Jun 17

A happy accident Paul!

Andy Sheridan @andysheridan.bsky.social · Jun 17

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.

The narrator had walked down from "29 Arbour Hill," (the house on the left of this terrace) where an old plumber named Geraghty" lived, and who was refusing to reimburse a grocer "by the name of Moses Herzog."

#Bloomsday2025 #Ulysses #Stoneybatter #Dublin

An image showing the entire facade of a terrace of two storey red brick houses on Arbour Hill, Stoneybatter, dating from the late 19th century, or very early 20th century. The terrace goes from No. 20, on the right hand side, up to No. 29 on the left. Each house has a bay-window at ground level, and a recessed porch area at the entrance door. All the houses are set back slightly from the footpath, separated with a small boundary wall with metal railings, and piers at the entrance gates to the properties.

"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.

I’ve always liked this view of the city because of exactly that!

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.

Never thought I’d get the chance to see the great Dan Reeder play live…what a joy to witness him play this evening in Vicar St., accompanied beautifully by his daughter Peggy.

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.
