  Coils of Fire At the end of the Dragon of Shandon parade we were treated to performances by some of the groups in the parade. This fire dance was spectacular with flames swirling around and sparks flying through the air. The ground was wet thankfully. 🙂 ... https://inphotos.org/2026/11/05/coils-of-fire/ #Cork #DragonOfShandon #FireDancers #FireSpinning #halloween #Ireland #LongExposure #NightPhotography #Photo #Photography #Samhain #StreetParade #StreetPhotography

  A Pathway Below the Waterline At low tide the Thames drops several metres and leaves a wide strip of shingle below the Oxo Gallery on the South Bank, scattered with broken brick. I wondered about this framed pathway was going into the river. It’s only visible at low tide. It looks old.

  Salamah on Sullivan’s Quay In August 2022 the gable at the corner of Sullivan’s Quay and Drinan Street carried Joe Caslin’s portrait of Salamah, a woman seeking asylum in Ireland, with two huge hands held over her head like a roof.

  The Watcher by the Wall I found this stag at the edge of a field in Killarney National Park in October 2022, standing under an old tree behind a mossy stone wall.

  Before the Walls Went Up I took this from across the river in August 2019, looking at Holy Trinity Church on Father Mathew Quay.

  The Óbidos Cat Óbidos has a castle and a full circuit of medieval walls, but plenty of people were stopping for the cat instead.

  Blue and Green in Óbidos The white wall with its thick blue trim caught my eye in Óbidos. I love that blue colour.

  I ♡ Alicante I stayed on the roof after the sun set. There wasn’t much cloud in the sky, but a haze on the horizon caught the glow of the disappeared sun and lit up the edge of that expanse.

  In The Heat of the Day It was very hot in Óbidos, and this couple had settled against a low parapet with their dog stretched out on the paving beside them. I would have gone looking for shade.
