More images from Galway Cathedral. I was able to briefly visit the cathedral on two different days.
The first day was cloudy but on the second there was a period of bright sun.
As I tried to capture the colors of stained glass shimmering on the wall, I was reminded of light dancing on water and nature’s colors reflected and rippling on the surface.
A magical moment, indeed.
a second book of thanks

Last year, I created a “book of thanks” for folks who made me feel very welcome in my travels around Dublin. As simply the guest of one of the conference speakers, I was free to ramble about the city and especially St. Stephen’s Green. This year, I was lucky enough to attend again (and even visit Galway). I decided I should do another book, to thank folks, and to highlight just a tiny bit of the beauty I saw as I meandered, this time, about the UCD Belfield Campus and its wonderful system of walking paths. The images are sorted into three sections: Amidst the Trees and in the Fields, Among the Birds, and Reflected in the Many Waters. Below are a few excerpts and the entire book is available via this link.
a morning odyssey of autumn light and shadows

Back home, I was racing up and down the stairs trying to photograph the morning sun as it struck the burnt orange leaves of the oak tree. As I turned around to walk back down the stairs, I noticed the silhouette on the wall. For a while, I photographed those shadows, the subtle shift of the shapes as the wind stirred the branches outside, and inside, how my motion stirred the butterflies on the mobile hanging from the ceiling.
As for the orange leaves that first drew my attention … to my eyes, they are like stained glass.
adagio

Recently, a family of swans swam past me. As they did so, several spread their wings in the sunlight. Slow movements that made me think of motion and music.
I took many photos, and I wondered what am I to do with these images? Then, I listened to a particular piece of music and suddenly wanted to put the images and that music together somehow.
I’m going to give it a try. I’m not sure that I will be successful, but it is good to have a goal. I’ll let you know what happens. But until then, here are a few images of the beautiful birds.
p.s. As for the music that moved me? Just one of those very popular pieces out there in the world, Adagio in D Minor by John Murphy, composed for the film, Sunshine (2007). So many variations on the theme available online, but here’s a link to a nice one. Enjoy.

three reflections in a single pond

Reflected in the waters are the usual plants found by freshwater and also the long lines of neighboring buildings. No fish have I seen at this juncture yet nor turtles or frogs. The ducks seem to have a good time when they drop in, and there are many colorful dragonflies.
more water images + print availability

In response to the previous post, I received some inquiries about availability of prints. Glossy and metallic prints, 5×7 and 11×14, are available for online purchase via this link. There you’ll find these and other images taken during my various hikes by the water and wherever the wind blows me.
The images are fairly unique and the prints are sized to facilitate matting and/or framing for easy display. The printing is top quality. I hope you enjoy, and have the opportunity to peruse other images on the site: http://photosbycynthia.smugmug.com/
