Nohoval Cove: Sunset on the Coast.

A few days ago I made my first visit to Nohoval Cove on the coast in Cork. I was lucky that I got down there when I did as the sun was just starting to go down and the sky was awash with colours. Its a really cool spot, its certainly worth it to make the trip down there if you can.

As always I hope you enjoyed the pictures, feel free to like, share, comment and what not.

Lightning, Sparks and the Night Sky.

So for the last few weeks I’ve been taking a lot of walks in the evening with my camera trying to get pictures around dusk when the light is just right. Sometimes you get lucky with the right combination of light, clouds, street lamps and water, here are some picture of those times.

The sun is either going up or coming down in this one I can’t remember which.

The sea was angry that night

Sometimes when the light isn’t quite right you have to make your own light, to do this all you have to do is get some steel wool like the kind you use for scrubbing pots and pans, set it on fire whirl it around like you have never whirled before.

Steel wool fire and the night sky.

I kind of panicked a little with this one and just started spinning it anyway I could

Then other times you get really lucky and you managed to catch lightning striking, so luck in fact that you catch it twice.

I took like 80 pictures that night trying to catch the lightning and only managed to get like 2 decent pictures. This one I think is only okay.

I think this is my favorite picture that I have ever taken.

I really hope you enjoyed these picture, they are by no means perfect and there is still plenty of room for improvement but I was really happy with how they turned out. As always I hope you enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think in the comments.

Peace and Love,

The Foxy Prophet.

Friends of the Ornithological Variety.

A-well-a ev’rybody’s heard about the bird bird bird bird
B-bird’s the word oh well-a bird bird bird
Bird is a word oh well-a bird bird bird
Well-a bird is the word oh well-a bird bird bird

If you are still reading this fair play to you, I was going to put the full set of lyrics to that song but I don’t think anybody wants that. So if you haven’t guessed by now today lesson is being brought to you by the letter B for bird.

I hope you enjoyed the picture of these feathered fiends, let me know what you thought of them in the comments below.

Peace and Love,

The Foxy Prophet.

The Moon, The Beach and Other Things.

I went for a walk on the beach with my camera for a daytime stroll and a night-time stroll, here are the results I hope you like them.

My muse.

Someone threw a bunch of flowers into the ocean, Im guessing it was either for a viking style funeral or an apology that didn’t go to plan.

I liked this rock with all the holes, a Geologist once explaied to me what forms them but I can’t remember what he said.

I like when water running down sand creates these trenches.

Some shells that I found.

I think the clouds look pretty cool in this photo.

more pictures of shells or as I like to think of them, Sea Skeletons.

I love when the sea erodes holes through rocks.

The moon came out at around 8PM and it was absolutely spectacular.

the moon was something special last night.

I was hoping to get more pictures of the dog playing in the water, but it was late and I guess he had to go home to have his supper.

There were planes flying past every couple of minutes and I almost managed to get a picture of this one going across the face of the moon but I didn’t time it well enough.
