Doolin Sunset

I’ve had a slow January photography wise. It was only last weekend that I got to take my camera out and take some shots around town. While importing them into Lightroom last night I came across some photos from a trip to Doolin late last year that I never got around to posting here. I had posted some to Flickr but I’ve several others that I want to post as well so I thought I’d start with taken late on the afternoon by the sea in Doolin. Very cold and windy with some big waves that seemed to attract the spectators more than drive them away.

Christmas Tree

It’s been a while since I posted. Busy few weeks getting stuff done in work and getting ready for Christmas. Still I thought I should post something so here’s a picture from last weekend when we were putting up our Christmas tree. It may be a little blurry but I like it because of the colors, I’m easily pleased sometimes.

We went away to Co. Clare for the weekend and stayed in a hotel which falls into the “modern but trying to appear old” bracket. In one of the alcoves of the bar was a bookshelf stacked with old hardback books no one ever bothers to read. In the bottom corner of the bookshelf was a stack of even older looking, worn and tatty books. These looked far more interesting so I snapped a photo of them. I didnt try to read any of them because the pile looked a little too precarious to be messed with. For all I know they could have been made in China last year, treated to look old and sold in a Hotel Bits and Bobs market but I liked them.

Occupy

The Occupy Wall Street protests have spread world wide and Ireland is no exception. We have Occupy Dame Street where a group of protestors have set up tents on the square in front of the Irish Central Bank. Last Saturday they staged a protest march through the city so I went along to take some photos. Protest photos are more fun because I can take photos of people on the street without them getting too annoyed. After all they are out there putting themselves on show so they usually welcome the camera. More photos after the break
