@Obong
The monumental entrance doorway to the former Broadstone Railway Station, designed in neo-Egyptian style by John Skipton Mulvany, 1850. It is one of the city’s great buildings, sadly now almost completely unappreciated… #Ireland #Dublin #nightwalkdublin
@Obong
Dramatic sky over the neighbourhood this evening… #Dunlin #Stoneybatter
@Obong
Possibly the grandest view from any laneway in the city; looking west from Fitzwilliam Lane, with Government Buildings on Upper Merrion Street terminating the vista. #Ireland #Dublin #nightwalkdublin
@Obong
Another from a dramatic sunset, beside the Cliffs of Moher… You could have sold tickets to this. #Ireland #Clare #Sunset
@Obong
Soft evening in the neighbourhood… #Stoneybatter #Dublin #ireland
@Obong
You’d almost be fooled into thinking it was a nice day… #Ireland #Wicklow
@Obong
It’s those moments just before dawn that are the most special… #Dublin #Ireland #dawn
@Obong
Dappled light, by the shore of Blessington lake. 5 minutes later there was an absolute deluge… #Ireland #Wicklow
@Obong
A photo-montage I did a few years back; on this day in 1922 the shelling of the Four Courts began, marking the beginning of civil war in Ireland. After the horrors of 1916, what an awful sight this must have been
@Obong
Lislee House, c. 1775 - a handsome, 2 storey over basement Georgian townhouse with an impeccable front garden, in the heart of Kildare town. #Ireland
@Obong
On the road again…and what a road; just outside Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare #Ireland #Clare #theburren
@Obong
Last night, as I left the Cliffs of Moher, the sky lit up briefly, like the clouds were on fire… #Ireland #Clare
@Obong
When I started taking long exposure shots in the city, I used to be fascinated with the trails that lights from passing traffic would make in the compositions…like this car, as it turned onto Pembroke St. Upper from Quinn’s Lane
@Obong
I was passing the time of day with old Troy of the DMP at the corner of Arbour hill and be damned but a bloody sweep came along and he near drove his gear into my eye. I turned to let him have the weight of my tongue when who should I see dodging along StonyBatter only Joe Hynes
@Obong
North Harbour, Cape Clear, of a soft summer’s evening… #Ireland #Capeclear #westcork
@Obong
It’s our wedding anniversary today. Shirley Roe, a wonderful friend of ours made us a card…she calls us a ‘right pair’…
@Obong
Soft night in the ‘batter… #Dublin #Stoneybatter
@Obong
Mizen Head; one of the most dramatic headlands to be found along the Atlantic seaboard. I love visiting this place…though my vertigo always makes crossing that bridge a challenge. #Ireland #Cork #WestCork #WildAtlanticWay #mizenhead
@Obong
The towering cliffs to the north of the Mizen Head footbridge. It’s difficult to gauge the scale of this image, but I can confirm that my vertigo-addled legs were wobbling as I took this panorama… #Ireland #Cork #WestCork #MizenHead #WildAtlanticWay
@Obong
Another view of the Mizen Head footbridge. Way off on the horizon is the distinctive silhouette of the Fastnet lighthouse… #Ireland #Cork #WestCork #WildAtlanticWay #MizenHead
@Obong
Cape Clear off in the distance, as seen from just outside Schull. We’ll be back over there soon… #Ireland #Cork #westcork #capeclear
@Obong
Night, night Cape Clear. That’s the full moon rising on the left… #Capeclear #Cork #Westcork #Ireland
@Obong
North Harbour, Cape Clear, of a soft summer’s evening… #Ireland #Capeclear #westcork
@Obong
Ah lads, I’m in heaven. Cape Clear south harbour as the sun set last night…there is no finer place. #Ireland #Cork #WestCork #capeclear
@Obong
Storm? What storm? This morning’s dawn on Cape Clear… #Ireland #Cork #WestCork #CapeClear
@Obong
The ruined O'Driscoll castle of Dún an Óir standing on the northern coastline of Cape Clear, with the last of the day’s sunlight fading over West Cork. Not a great time for my proper camera to give up the ghost. Not to worry; I’ll be back… #Ireland #Cork #WestCork #Capeclear
@Obong
This place always has a surprise for me, this time is no different; thanks to some friends putting a word in, I got to see a part of the island I’d never seen before Unfortunately my proper camera stopped working, but that’s my excuse to return. Like I need an excuse #Capeclear
@Obong
Back in the city now…but refreshed. Cape Clear is good for my soul. I look forward to seeing it again. #Ireland #Cork #WestCork #CapeClear
@Obong
Paid a visit today to the wonderful @JuneBlakesGarde, which supplied the lush colours of summer on an otherwise overcast day… (1 of 2) #Ireland #Wicklow #Irishgarden #gardendesign
@Obong
Two boats lit up on a soft night at Cape Clear’s south harbour… #Ireland #Cork #WestCork #Capeclear
@Obong
Every once and a while there’s a flash of lightening way off in the distance. A bit of rain would do no harm… Night night Cape Clear.
@Obong
Looking down at the north harbour of Cape Clear. Off in the distance are the lights of Schull on the mainland… #Ireland #Cork #WestCork #CapeClear
@Obong
I love this view so much I went back for another go; looking down at the north harbour of Cape Clear, with the lights of Schull way off in the distance. A panorama composed of 6 individual photos… (1 of 2)
@Obong
The white house at the far side of the harbour is the HQ of the Cape Clear Bird Observatory, run by the excellently named Steve Wing…who, from looking closer at the above image, had some guests on this fine evening…
@Obong
A Bamford Patented No. 4 Rapid Grinding Mill, from 1892, which I came across recently in a shed in the lovely June Blake’s Gardens, Co. Wicklow. What a great piece of industrial design. See more from these gardens in my previous post… #Ireland #industrialdesign #Bamford
@Obong
Another at dawn, from the south harbour of Cape Clear… #Ireland #Cork #WestCork #CapeClear #Dawn
@Obong
In fairness, that @alt_J gig this evening in @NMIreland Collins Barracks, was something special. What a band… #Dublin #Stoneybatter
@Obong
It’s a little less picturesque here in Stoneybatter for sunset…quite the sky all the same though. #Dublin #Stoneybatter #Sunset
@Obong
One of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever witnessed; overlooking Loch Ioral, Cape Clear island, as the sun went down over west Cork
@Obong
Great performance by @alt_J last night in the main square of @NMIreland Collins Barracks. What a band… #Dublin #Stoneybatter #altj
@Obong
Off Rathdown Road…like everywhere else in the city there’s been lots of change around here since I took this photo. #Ireland #Dublin #nightwalkdublin
