Curls on the Beach – Part Two!

Posted on 14/02/2019 by aj vosse

Many years ago… in Aug 2011, I did a similarly titled post – about the same piece of art. Only, this time the photo is a lot better… brighter – with a glorious blue-sky backdrop. Today’s photo was taken on … Continue reading →

My Weekly Challenge – B is for Beach!

Posted on 14/06/2018 by aj vosse

Yep… it’s summer here in Ireland so it will be daft of me not to feature the beach… or, many beaches! I’ll have to admit… winter light often adds to beach colours so this gallery is made up of all … Continue reading →

Which Way Wind?

Posted on 18/04/2018 by aj vosse

I really enjoy this photo. The two Poolbeg chimneys have long been one of my favourite Dublin landmarks. The shiny new building to centre-left has a purpose whereas the two old chimneys are now only there for show… pretty. PS … Continue reading →

Transport…

Posted on 11/09/2016 by aj vosse

I was in the process of putting together another post for today when Ailsa’s weekly travel theme arrived. Transport. Sorry… I pushed the other post away and jumped at this challenge. Just a few seconds for me to recall all … Continue reading →

Dublin Alphabet – S is for Sandymount Strand

Posted on 21/06/2016 by aj vosse

I’m in the mood for a bit of summer… no, a lot of summer! Beach braai anyone?? No… I don’t think I’ll find anyone to join me for a braai at the moment. The not so warm liquid summer sunshine … Continue reading →

Dublin Alphabet – P is for Poolbeg

Posted on 05/05/2016 by aj vosse

Poolbeg, both the lighthouse and the two chimneys. Both iconic Dublin landmarks. I’ve done the odd post about the chimneys before. I’ve featured the lighthouse as well. Not too many moons ago the chimneys faced an uncertain future. There was … Continue reading →

Flutter

Posted on 14/02/2016 by aj vosse

This week Ailsa has got my copycat juices going. Her flutter challenge post includes four photos… a bird, a butterfly, a kite and last but not least some national flags. So, I’ll do exactly the same… a bird… a butterfly… … Continue reading →

Beach Lights

Posted on 26/01/2016 by aj vosse

I’m keeping with things bright and summery. Why not? I took this photo down at Sandymount Strand while chasing Holly Blue butterflies. They were flitting about the blackberry brambles and I was snapping away. I mean… spending time on a … Continue reading →
