Rain moving in over Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin a powerful backdrop to Archangel Michael. Devotion to St. Michael is ancient and widespread. In the face of the rebellion of the fallen angels and the human race, this archangel stands as the Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, guarding a world whose residents seem determined to dethrone and replace God.

Here's a warning I haven't seen since I was a boy 👀 "B***y Trapped Turf"

I spotted this over the weekend while walking Belle in our local bog, I remember the signs years ago would be placed just after the turf was cut and was wet, Legend told that In rural Ireland, stacked piles of turf left out on the bog were sometimes vulnerable to being "borrowed" or stolen by neighbors. The Trap was that frustrated turf-cutters would hollow out a sod of turf and hide a live shotgun shell inside. If a thief threw the stolen sod straight onto an open fire without inspecting it, the heat would detonate the shell. It's the first time I've seen it written on a bag of turf 👀 would you take the chance?

A memorial following the Oyster Boat Tragedy at New Quay in Co.Clare in 1969.

The drowning of nine children in the New Quay Oyster Boat Tragedy shocked Ireland and cast a cloud of sorrow over North Clare for years to come.

Sunday June 29th, 1969 had started out as a day of celebration, with the blessing of a boat called ‘Red Bank’.

It was a flat-bottomed vessel designed to work the shallow waters of the local lagoon.

As part of the festivities, the operators were offering pleasure trips across the bay.

After crowds streamed onto the vessel and the weather took a turn for the worse, the boat attempted to return to the pier, but capsized throwing crew and passengers into strong tidal currents.

A heroic effort by local people, supported by volunteers from across Clare and beyond saved many lives, but nine were lost – among them members of a team of school girls who’d recently returned from a camogie match in Corofin.

The recovery of their bodies involved volunteer divers from across Ireland, as well as the naval vessel, the LE Cliona.

One of those called to assist in the rescue and recovery mission was Manuel di Lucia who rushed to the scene, bringing a group of army personnel who had been diving in Kilkee that day.

The EIRE sign located at Loop Head. During World War 2, there were 85 EIRE signs placed along the western Irish seaboard so that American and German pilots knew that there was passing over neutral territory. At the bequest of the Americans each sign was also given a number so that the pilots might know where exactly they were, an early GPS system. Loop Head is number 45. The EIRE sign at Loop Head was built on commonage land and unlike most of the others signs, was not dug up after the war.

"The Bench"

Today is world photography day so this evening I've decided to post one of my favourite images of the year to date, this is not one of favourite shots because of how it looks or turned out, it's more because of how the scene unfolded in front of me and the time I spent sitting on the bench waiting for the sun to set. I arrived about 1 hour before sunset and set up my camera for my first composition, once everything was set and ready I took a seat on the old rickety timber bench and after a few creaks and squeaks from the old bench I was hit with a wave of silence, sitting here on my lonesome old memories came flooding through in the calmness of loved ones and friends who have passed away over the years, it was almost like I was sharing the bench with them for a brief moment, one memory would come to mind causing a fit of laughter where as another would shed a tear leading me to realise to make of most of today and those close. A burst of calls and flight from the birds on the lake made me look towards the sky where it was almost like an artist had filled the horizon with color so it was time for me to take my photos as the wildlife moved to bed down for the night. There's much more to photography for me then just taking a photo and that's why I enjoy the hobby 👍 feel free to add your own favourite photos and tell us a little about it.
