Most people believe that nature is more beautiful than cities, towns or villages. For me, from my own photographer's point of view urban photography is as exciting as the wide open expanse of Connemara bog lands and mountains.
Last month walking into Moycullen early in the morning, right after a light rain, I found myself absolutely hypnotized by the colours, contrasts and compositions visible everywhere in this little village. I just had to pause and take a few shots.
No one can resist a challenge like that. Being on the right spot at the right time is every photographer's dream.

Earlier this summer I took several photo walks through our lovely village and the area
Everyone knows we had the best summer in hundreds of years
And guess what? I didn't make it to the beach, ANY BEACH, all summer.
What can I do, I am a busy bee, I work a lot and have no time to go anywhere after work. Sad really. In a way I like it I guess otherwise I wouldn't be doing it.
Fear not, I made it to Barna beach a couple of days ago. One major disappointment though - I couldn't find my bathing suit before we left!! I had to satisfy myself with soaking my feet and the water was so warm and lovely, it was a pure torture being there and not being able to swim.
When I came home I turned my wardrobe upside down and managed to find the elusive bathing suit.
Now I am waiting for the next trip to the beach. I hope it is before next summer...
