Category: Light & Seasons

The changing character of landscape through weather, light, and time of year.

A fallen branch with curled brown leaves lies across bright green grass in Port Laoise, an early hint of autumn amid the still-lush September growth.

Still Holding On

Clusters of ripe black and unripe red blackberries growing among dense green leaves in a hedgerow.

The Bridge over the Barrow

A soft-focus yellow flower fills the foreground of a late-summer flower bed, surrounded by green leaves, dried brown seed heads and scattered orange blooms.

The Slow Work of Ripening

Tall thistles at the edge of a wooded area releasing pale, downy seeds, with loose seed fluff scattered across the dry grass below.

What the Wind Carries

A single upright cluster of wild arum berries among long grass, with lower berries still green and the upper berries turning yellow, orange, and vivid red.

Hidden Fire

Woodland path curving into deep green trees, bordered by sunlit rosebay willowherb glowing pink in the evening light.

The Rope in the Stone

Evening view across the River Barrow in Monasterevin with the church tower silhouetted against a fading golden sky and reflected in the calm water below.

The River Keeps the Light

A duck glides across still water glowing with golden evening reflections. Dark vertical reflections from riverside structures stretch across the surface, while ripples gently distort the light into abstract patterns.

Crossing the Light

Two bright red fuchsia flowers hang beneath leafy branches, their colour standing out against a monochrome background of foliage and soft summer light. Several unopened buds surround the blossoms, while the shaded garden behind fades into gentle blur.

Hanging Lamps

A train stands at Monasterevin railway station at dusk, viewed from an overhead footbridge. Platform lights glow against the deep blue evening sky, while a band of orange sunset lingers on the horizon. A crescent moon hangs above the station as the last light of day fades into night.

Last Train, Last Light

Clusters of deep pink-red valerian flowers growing beside a roadside bank in Ballymena, with green foliage filling the background.
