Whose figure has been sculpted, sitting on a bench

Alongside the canal.

Dublin Sunset

Clouds chase across the sky

Following the sun west

As it sinks below

The hills that surround the city.

Howth Harbour, Dublin

A beautiful cold spring day

Shadows racing by

As sunlight plays

Hide and seek

In the wind torn sky.

Winter Trees, Dublin

Late afternoon sunlight strikes the tops of these trees in St. Stephen's Green, Dublin.

They glow with a fiery autumnal radiance.

Irish Summer

River Suir, Kilsheelan, Co. Tipperary, Ireland.

A peaceful end to a summer day, the clear air holds the light long after sunset.
