Mother Earth Dancing by Betty Newman-Maguire

I couldn't resist to post a few more images of my favourite sculpture from the Sculpture in Context 2010 Exhibition in Botanic Gardens.

A beautiful piece of art!

Sculpture in Context 2010 in Botanic Gardens

There is a beautiful mix of sculptures in Botanic Gardens, Dublin until 15/10/2010.
I admire sculpting and below is a small selection of my favourites from the exhibition:


Mother Earth Dancing by Betty Newman-Maguire

This sculpture is so beautiful. I have viewed it several times and will view it again while I still have the opportunity.





I couldn't find this one in the catalogue but it looks like a work of art from Bob Quinn. I love his work!





Flight of Butterflies by Ray Delaney

Beautiful Butterflies and the piece works so well in the current environment!




Onlookers by Sandra McCowen

Eye catching!




Twisted Sister I, II, II by Paddy Moloney
(one of them)

A lady with attitude! I love the burgundy colour.

Autumn Colours in Botanic Gardens 26/09/2010

Johnstown Castle in co Wexford 05/09/2010

My attempt to capture the castle on a mixed weather day. For a short while there was some colour in the sky. We reached the castle after quite some rally driving on L roads. The GPS we had just loved L roads...

Roland- I found your box!

Spotted in Wexford city on the quays- near the big turquoise boat, ok...

Rain

The weekend rained away so I did not feel like going out and capture some more autumn photos. If it must rain this week I'm hoping that it will all fall during the week and leave the weekend nice and sunny.
Here's a capture from the previous weekend when I didn't let a little bit of rain be a hinder.

Botanic Gardens Dublin 11/09/2010

It's nearly the end of the summer. Autumn is starting to take over. Rain and sunshine. There are more flowers left than I thought. The leaves on some trees are changing into beautiful vibrant yellow and red.
I need to go back to the gardens to capture this autumn properly. So many time I have been there but I always get new photos, sometimes improvements of previous ones but most of the time brand new perspectives.

Boat graveyard in Wexford city

There are several abandoned boats along the quays of Wexford city. It's nearly like a boat graveyard with boats left to slowly rotten away. A bit sad but hey, they are lovely photo subjects... I guess the Casino is thriving though.

Dreamy waves at Hook Head, Co Wexford

This shot was taken around 7AM at Hook Head in Count Wexford. We missed the sunrise but at least there were some waves. Freezing cold and a drizzle but tried to get something out of it.

Pylly vasten pyllyä...

This photo kind of goes together with the embarrassing Eurovision entry from Finland in 1976.

A rough translation of the title is: "Bum against bum..."

Orange flowers are now in a third exhibition!

I'm currently waiting on more details but I have it confirmed that my photograph "Orange Flowers" is in an exhibition in Edinburgh, Scotland.
I didn't expect this photograph to do so well. I chose it to my Couleur & Contraste exhibition in Paris Feb-Mar this year purely based on the colour. Then I entered it into the DCC Photo 2010 competition/exhibition and was amazed that it actually got through as well as getting marked as highly commended.

The exhibition is at the below address:

Photographic Exhibition Centre
68 Great King Street
Edinburgh, EH3 6QU
Scotland

And once more here's the photograph!

Icecream colours in Vienna 15/08/2010

Pretty houses spotted on the way to Hunderwasser Haus.
