It was a really good weekend for photography. I got out both days and got some shots that I’m really happy with. I’ve been meaning to go to Greystones Harbour for awhile and I made it down there on Saturday evening just as the last of the light was disappearing.
It was bitterly cold and my fingers were so numb I nearly dropped my camera into the water in this old rowing boat but it’s my favourite shot of the afternoon:
I’ll post some more tomorrow.
I spent some time taking photographs in Rathdown Cemetary in Greystones yesterday afternoon. What is it about graveyards that is so fascinating? Rathdown is a pretty modern cemetary so no ancient tombstones to be found there but still, I love to read the inscriptions and try and piece together something of the people’s stories.
I didn’t stay long. Being a Sunday there were a few people visiting graves and I felt awkward about taking photographs. Even though I was sure to be as inconspicuous as possible (never putting the camera to my eye for instance) and nobody even gave me a second glance, it still felt like I was doing something wrong.
When I go, I want to have lots of interesting information on my tombstone (no cremation for me thank you) so that people will stop and read it and, who knows, maybe blog it. Haha…a final post from beyond the grave!

I spent my lunch hour down on Moore Street, all the colour was a perfect antidote to the grey skies.
Christmas morning wouldn’t be the same without crowds of crazy people jumping into the sea all around Ireland. One of the most popular spots is the Forty Foot in Sandycove and this year my husband Matt was one of the lunatics:
We go down every year now and the atmosphere is always great. Here’s a few more of the other swimmers with a couple more shots on Flickr:
