As well as the whole building being impressive, the Auditorio de Tenerife provided plenty of opportunities for some more abstract shots.

Butterfly portrait
Portrait of a speckled wood butterfly from the garden. It’s tempting to try to read his expression but who knows what he was thinking. Focus stacked using Affinity.
Butter Slip
Butter Slip dates to 1616 and ran underneath two houses, with its arched entry and stone steps a narrow and dark walkway connecting High St with St Kieran’s St (previously called Low Lane) is the most picturesque of Kilkenny’s many narrow medieval corridors. These winding streets that ramble through the city are a perfect view of Medieval Kilkenny.

Dolomites
Taken in the hedgerow at Laburnum Caravan Park Wexford. In this image I have captured two distinct elements of the Natural World. The Dung fly on the right resting on the leaf. On the left side of the leaf cluster, tucked into the fold, is a frothy, bubbly white mass. This is commonly known as cuckoo spit. A protective nest produced by the nymph (immature stage) of a froghopper (family Aphrophoridae), an insect often called a spittlebug.

Just bearable
Wild brown bear in Slovakia. After hours of waiting and as the light was fading, this bear emerged from the forest. He got within 50m, smelled us and turned around. An amazing experience.

Killarney. In Ireland we don’t have climate, we have weather! Rain showers chase across the lake, wind whips the water surface. A slow exposure tames the scene to an image.

Beara peninsula, Kerry. Up early, incoming rain is forecast. After many shots of so so light and retreats from showers, a shaft of the early sun penetrated to light up the rock formation on the opposite hillside.
