~ You can take Cap Ferrat… Portofino, Positano… they are beautiful to be sure… but I’m sorry. Mullaghmore, will never be home this time around, I know… but there is no other place for me. No other light. Such is life. #mullaghmore

I’d be happier if it said people calming ahead, but you take what you can get, so.

Trawalua Strand over to Mullaghmore and Donegal, then Greenland and to Iceland then Canada … Then rewind. And repeat.

A Coat I MADE my song a coat Covered with embroideries Out of old mythologies From heel to throat; But the fools caught it, Wore it in the world's eyes As though they'd wrought it. Song, let them take it, For there's more enterprise In walking naked. ~ William Butler Yeats #poetry #photography

I never tire of watching my river buddy in the Garavogue. Endless patience, mostly on one leg :) #birds #nature #river #fishing

“Irish poets, learn your trade, Sing whatever is well made, Scorn the sort now growing up All out of shape from toe to top, Their unremembering hearts and heads Base-born products of base beds.” -WB Yeats June 13th … #poetry #yeats #yeatsday #ireland #photography

Canadian wildfires, make for a momentary soft start to the day in Sligo… it will all change here in a minute. It always does. #sunrise #wildfires #photography

Benbulben, in one of his many incarnations. The shapeshifter that he is. #photography #ireland

Goodnight. #photography #skies #clouds

How incredible, A beach forest, drawn by nature… #nature #beach #art #ireland

Oh my… look at these little faces up in Cliffoney. Seriously. 🩷 #animals #ireland #sligo

A Turneresque rendering of the Garavogue tonight as the sun set, because that’s how I feel, so.

Just… perfect.

Sciatica. Sucks. Might as well have one of these sitting on the nerve 🫥

It’s always so unbelievably surreal, bizarre , to be out listening to one of your tracks just back from being mastered, where it was written,where it is about. It will never stop being, one of those very strange things… A little private universe. #music #photography #sligo

This is going straight to my son 😂

He stands alone. #photography #sligo #sunset

The crows of Strandhill.

“… what manner of creature is it in the semblance of man? “ ~ Bram Stoker. Sligo.

Ben. Again.

Ben. And the wind.

Rosses Point. One more beautiful day…

Tobergal Lane, Sligo, just before sun down. They have done such a lovely job here over the year. #photography #ireland

All quiet on High Street. 9:12 pm and I’m going to bed. Goodnight Sligo. I’m done.

Just something soft… #ireland #sligo

Lots of green and blue, in Strandhill yesterday, with the low tide. Back to boots tomorrow I think. #ireland #photography

Oh Sligo. Another ethereal sky over the cathedral. And the swallows, which seem to burst forth in song, only at sunset. At least I hope they’re swallows, and not bats in the belfry’s. #ireland #sunsets #sligo #photography

A soft glow over Ben from the old Quay last night. Often, just an outline. #ireland #sunsets #sligo

One of my favourite roads in Sligo, at this time of night. I don’t know why. I think it’s the curves. A beautiful evening to be sure.

You’ll never guess what this keyhole unlocked.

Well, I guess I was wrong. The moon did rise. And then the sun… It’s going to be a very long day tomorrow. Nite.

So hot in my attic apt, I sit on the roof at 3 am. No blanket needed. I can’t see the constellations very well with the Sligo city lights ... but I can see the possibility of all the million of stars behind them, in a way I cannot where I live. Just the possibility of infinity in a crowded sky.

Swans. All of them. #swans #ireland #photos

Those who know me or my music, will hear this piano and go “yeah, she didn’t leave there for a while…” and they would be right. More of this please. Everywhere. Tiernan O’Rourke soundcloud.com/user-5132016... #irishmusic #piano #buskers

The timeless Olympia Theatre, Dublin… Awaiting my friend, John Colleary who delivered a performance that left my muscles sore from laughing. As always:) and surprisingly ended with a rock number with full band that knocked most peoples sox off. So lucky am I. ❤️

Just for you, 😜@fraudulentpoet.bsky.social

My kind of moving visual. Unsure of how I was going to feel about the Red Pavilion, at Trinity, but where else would she be but in the middle of a storm.

A reflective Liffey. Always been a place, to get my head straight. More or less.

My Dad always told me I’d find the world in a library. My church. The Long Room… Trinity College, Dublin. #ireland #photography #library #history #architecture

For @irishlittimes.bsky.social

I spend a lot of time in churchyards, don’t know what that says about me:) St. Mary’s in Blessington, 1682, with the last remaining working turret clock in Ireland. Continuous, bright blue skies, reflected in the lead glass windows as if stained:) #photography #ireland #church #history

For anyone who might be heading to the south of France, surprisingly, this lovely little place in Villefranche served up the absolutely most delicious, the best hamburger I have ever had in my entire life… and I’ve had a few 😂 put that in your back pocket for future use :)

The meaning of green. The hills cradling Blessington Lake, on the bluest of days. #photography

For you @justmemdh.bsky.social For when you wake up. Get on a plane. I’ll be there:) #wicklow #irishsunsets #photography

Cap Ferrat, Occupied by German soldiers in the Second World War, it’s so easy to visualize them standing in the windows or smoking outside, leaning against the faded walls, as in so many movies I saw as I child.

The mutual admiration society. What a dote.

Just love the shape of these umbrellas :) Alassio, Italy. #italy

The only way to move a sofa in the heart of Villefranche… break it into 11 pieces they said, and pray for the best :)

Vieux Château Cemetery, Menton. Sitting high up on the hill. The occupants resting, with a view unmatched. Breathtaking.
