A #Cork man living in #Blarney, like. They say Cork is the real capital of #Ireland.

I work at #Automattic on various things like WordPress.com, Jetpack Boost, WP Super Cache, other obscure things and WordPress plugins.

I take photos, so many photos. Lightroom says I have more than 388,000 photos spread over the last 22 years. I love street photography.

A Song Thrush at Dusk The thrush was sitting on a branch in a cherry tree in the grounds of Blarney Castle late in the evening, and it stayed put long enough for a few frames. The next photo is a blur as the bird looked the other way, and the following photo is... https://inphotos.org/2026/07/27/a-song-thrush-at-dusk/ #BirdPhotography #Blarney #BlarneyCastle #BlarneyPhotographyClub #CherryTree #Cork #CountyCork #EveningLight #GardenBirds #Ireland #Photo #Photography #SongThrush #wildlife

Ireland’s Russian Problem I remember watching this video by Kev Collins a while back where he covered the Aughinish plant in Co. Limerick. His documentary revealed a horrible site on the west coast of Ireland. Red ponds of waste that blow into neighbouring farms and a family that had to move out of their family home because of... https://odd.blog/2026/07/11/irelands-russian-problem/ #Aughinish #Ireland #Russia

A Long Trans Flag Across the City We marched with a great crowd through the centre of Cork today for Trans+ Pride Cork. A trans flag big enough to need a dozen pairs of hands was carried down the street, past the shops on Grand Parade, St. Patrick Street, Winthrop Street and then up Oliver Plunkett Street to Gran... https://inphotos.org/2026/07/04/a-long-trans-flag-across-the-city/ #Cork #GrandParade #Ireland #LGBTQ #march #Photo #Photography #Pride #protest #StreetPhotography #TransFlag #TransPride

Trenchangle: Tower Defense on the C64

I picked up Issue 31 of Zzap! 64 yesterday evening and had a quick look at the covermount disk. There’s a few really good-looking games there but one that caught my eye was Trenchangle, a tower defense game! I’m a sucker for the genre, but it took me several tries to even finish level one.Continue reading

@oligneisti@social.linux.pizza nice! I know Vivaldi had that feature too, but Firefox is my main browser.. I wonder if one view of two can go to sleep if I don't use it for a while?

Clogher in Full Voice

The Atlantic was absolutely hammering Clogher Beach when I got down there a few weeks ago. A proper winter swell rolling in through the gap between the headlands, each wave stacking up and throwing that incredible translucent green you only get when th...

K67: A Relic of Slovenian Design in London

It’s impossible to miss this kiosk. A bright yellow box parked outside Spitalfields Market, looking like it had been teleported in from a 1960s sci-fi film set. This is a K67 kiosk. It’s a modular street unit designed by Slovenian a...

Iron Bones

I nearly walked straight past it. You’re on the South Bank, dodging cyclists, and there’s this railway bridge overhead that most people treat as a ceiling to hurry under. But look up and the underside of Blackfriars Railway Bridge is a riot of riveted iron gir...

Northern Lights Over North Cork

You don’t expect to stand in a field north of Blarney and watch the northern lights, but here we are. Last night the aurora put on a show visible well into southern Ireland. Bands of pink and magenta hung across thesky, bleeding into that unmistakable...

@bitchboss@marcella.masto.host haha, yeah. It's great. I got some great photos at Clogher Beach and at Cappagh. Too many of the storm that was hitting the coast so I need to decide on a couple from the hundreds I have!

Low Cloud Over Dingle

Low clouds lay over Dingle town on Friday evening but while it wasn’t the most exciting light, it had a lovely even light without deep shadows. It was a quiet evening with only a few people out walking their dogs and even a couple of tourists!...

@rbairwell ha, same happened to me last year. I think it was those little cartons of orange juice. The shop employee pointed behind me. :)

@cameron_talley@mastodon.online I was in Chicago for the summer of 2003, the year before the bean was built. I did get back a year later, but the site was covered by a tarpaulin while it was being built. One of these years I'll get back there to photograph it.

@micahflee@mastodon.social Thanks for setting it up micah! If that 3,200 tweet limit/bug wasn't there it would probably have deleted a lot more! Your work is appreciated!
