Royal Enfield Classic 350
A modern classic
I found this 2022 built motorcycle parked in Belfast today, – and I was transported back in my mind to the early 1970’s when I rode a Royal Enfield, – not dissimilar in style and shape to this beauty.
Holy Trinity, Portrush
Holy Trinity Church Of Ireland, Main Street, Portrush, Co.Antrim.

Randalstown Churches
The Old Congregation Presbyterian Church
This historic building dates back to 1655, when a presbyterian congregation was founded on the site on the Portglenone Road; that building replaced in 1790, at a cost of £600. On the hill behind the OC Church is the St Brigid’s Church of Ireland Church, Drumaul Parish.
I’ve been trying for years (literally!) to get a photograph of this building – and I’ve been thwarted in the past by parked cars in the lay-by in front of the church, so when I was passingly a few days ago, and saw it carless, I did a quick u-turn and got the camera out before someone parked!
Photographed with the Nikon F100, on Ilford FP4 ISO125.

Poyntzpass NIR Halt
Poyntzpass is a small village sitting on the border between Co.Armagh and Co.Down, Northern Ireland. More importantly, it straddles two lines of transport, the old Newry Canal, now defunct, and the main Northern Ireland Railways line between Belfast and Dublin. A level crossing unites the two parts of the village, and there is a small unmanned station.
But it was the historic signal box, now out of use of course, which attracted my attention as I drove through the village. I couldn’t resist stopping for a couple of quick shots – time was pressing, so it was literally, just a few minutes…

New Year’s Eve
31st December 2021 was the warmest New Year’s Even since records began, with some parts of Northern Ireland reaching 14 degrees Celsius. That’s warm for this part of the world! People were getting out and about, and no more so that at Portstewart, on the North Coast.
