One more beach shot.

ANOTHER morning of biblical rain, with more coming tomorrow as the tail end of Hurricane Hanna hits is. This is gonna be a looonnnnggg winter. The photograph is from this morning as I waited on the bus

IT SEEMS last night was one of the beautiful evenings where everyone stops, looks at the sky and thinks wow. I was working out in Blanchardstown from late afternoon and once that was all done I was delighted to get a lift back into town around 9pm when the colours in the sky were just popping magnificently.

And lucky me, I was at the Quays with my camera AND my long lens which I don’t normally carry. I only took a couple of shots as the light was rapidly going and I was carrying a lot of bags. But I was happy with what I got, the only thing is I need to find the fine line between what I see on my Mac to what the image looks like on a PC and then on top of that on Flickr. The two orange/red silhouette/statue images were more red on my Mac but still and all I am delighted to have managed to capture Superman, Batman and Yer Man in the middle. (Thanks to both Will and Darragh for spotting our Super Heroes.)

The sunset flooding down the Phoenix Park was something else also.

We are really lucky in Ireland to have the beautiful quality of light that we do. There are so many types of light something we can boast about to warmer climes with their stark bright sunshine. We have twilight or the beautiful light after an evening shower, I could go on and on. But last night was particularly beautiful and almost cancelled out all the rain today

I DON’T need to say anymore, I think the image does the talking.

I DON’T know what it is like where you are but it is absolutely lashing down here, in sheets. I normally hate umbrellas, I really do, but tonight I am happy that I actually brought one in today (I never do).

This is what the evening looks like outside. Yeuck. Unfortunately you cannot hear or feel the wind or see the rain as it comes down in sheets. If I wasn’t already delighted to have central heating, nights like this make me even more so.
