Ardmore from the Air
I didn't plan this one, like the photos of Blarney from a few days ago. It's the kind of shot you only get when you've nabbed a window seat and the cloud cooperates. We were somewhere over the Waterford coast when Ardmore slid into view below, the whole headland laid out like a quilt someone had thrown over the cliffs. The fields are the real star here: every shade of green and brown, all stitched together by hedgerows into that unmistakably Irish patchwork. You can pick out the town tucked […]Blarney from Above in 2016
Blarney, from the secondary school and Woolen Mills to the Castle Digging through the archive I found these two aerial photos of Blarney from September 2016, and the first one stopped me. See those fields that border the houses on 3 sides? They're now Cluain Ard with houses, gardens, driveways, the lot. Back then it was still being farmed, with the older estates hugging the edges. The second frame is some of the village laid out like a model: the secondary school and its car park bottom […]Horse, Dog and a Quiet Hour on Silver Strand

Fabulous beaches too.https://inphotos.org/2026/05/17/horse-dog-and-a-quiet-hour-on-silver-strand/
The wellness slogan and the whipped cream
I shot this on Princes Street in Cork back in 2016, and I had it filed in my head all this time as a Starbucks-versus-Starbucks gag. The wellness sermon in the window was contradicted by the Frappuccino in the hand. Turns out the window belongs to Rocket Man, a salad and juice bar, which means the slogan is just an honest pitch for what's inside. The joke isn't the shop being two-faced; it's the woman walking past it with a competitor's plastic cup and a New Look bag, completely uninterested […]https://inphotos.org/2026/05/15/the-wellness-slogan-and-the-whipped-cream/
