Blinking Water, Black Sun

The rest of that roll from back in December, my favourite set of doubles for a while, and a new fascination found.

House Music - Big Monster Love, Yawning Chasm, Paul O'Reilly, DeclanQKelly - 8-1-11

Second (though technically third) house gig. The house of Rachel, Sharon and I this time round.

In memory of a real tree

This tree (on the far left) is gone now, probably as some sort of a safety measure to do with the road. These are two photos I took in August 2008, I found the whole scene eerie for some reason. The banal location - a Knocknacarra suburb made up primarily of B&Bs - made it all the stranger, as if the combination of a full moon shrouded in cloud, a twisting road and smooth, towering tree were not meant to be placed in this context. But now the tree is just a stump and a scene like this won't ever happen there again. Which doesn't really matter, does it? It's just a photograph after all. I'm sure there must be plenty of other people who have noticed it and missed it; I suppose I'm just glad I have a record of it at least.
