Gentle shade for the days the sun really does come out.

Well that’s what they look like. A colour picture, but looks black and white.

(Yup, I’m busy this week)

Two homes,

When you go off the beaten track; enjoy the view.

(I really have to start writing posts again)

While in Doneraile, we stumbled across a giant squid

Ok, we didn’t. It’s a fallen tree, but the missing branch and trunk shape would certainly make Bruce Schneier shiver (or whatever it is that he does when he comes across another giant squid for his collection).

The funny thing is, the “eye”. It seems to be looking at you. I know it’s really a hole in a piece of once animate material, but isn’t that what an eye is (he typed conveniently forgetting everything in an earlier post).

At this time this arrives, I should be sitting at the information desk in Fitzgerald’s Park at the Lord Mayors picnic in the park (part of the Cork Midsummer Festival). I’m really hoping that there will be food, and there might be photos from the event here too.

Yup, I’m bringing the camera and keeping an eye on things.

but not this eye.

What was that quote about an abyss staring back at you?

It’s amazing what reaches out of the dark.

The funny thing is, these photos were all taken in brilliant sunshine. You see, while the other Doneraile Walkers were content to stay on the sunlit path, I was entranced by the path less trodden (or at least unpaved) running next to it.

The thing about cameras is; they aren’t as good as the human eye. They can’t focus as well, and they can’t see in the dark (infra red photography aside). Shadows look deeper than they really are. The flash goes off in well lit places.
So that semi-lit path above, appears to be really, really dark.

So the flash gives results it really shouldn’t.

And things look

a little odd.

take care in the dark,
and always try the path less taken; you’ll never know what you’ll see.

You know the old quote about politics and mushrooms…

… keep them in the dark and feed them…

Well, never mind.

looking out from

inside a tree. Sorry I’m late.

I think this shot has a certain Chinese mountain look to it.
Am I wrong?

The tree is all hollowed out, so this is a shot through the roots and passed its own trunk.

There are more on the way,

Its another Doneraile Park shot I sort of wandered off down a dark footpath, and came across a few things. Given that most of my 50+ shots of the deer were all out focus due to an incorrectly attached lens, I’m pleased with my dark shots.

This shot, appears to have the outline of a tiny torso. Do faeries (or fairies) shed their skin like lizards and some insects?

What happens at the bottom of the garden? With extra naked fay?

No wonder roses blush.

And speaking of going bare, I’m volunteering with the Cork Midsummer Festival, and it likes I might be helping out with the “putting together” / “herding” of the Spencer Tunick photograph taking place in Cork on Tuesday 17 2008. I doubt I’ll see anything with wings.

And no it is not going to be a photo walk!

take care,
Will

UPDATE 16 June 2008. I won’t be involved with the Spencer Tunick photographic shoot. I’ll explain in person.
