This week I did quite a lot of car photography, but my favourite was not a car at all! It was a classic Harley Davidson bike, a beautiful, sleek machine; belt driven (instead of a chain) and with abundant chrome.
This week’s car of the week is this classy BMW Z4, definitely a poser-mobile! If you want to be the cool kid around town, this one’s for you.

Continue reading Car of the Week, w/c 6/2/22Poyntzpass 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…

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.
I’ve done my w/c 6th December 2021 ‘car of the week’ – but I was quite impressed with this nice BMW 4 series, so I’ve voted it my ‘runner-up!’

Here’s a classic – this old girl making her way along the road to Belfast in bright autumnal sunshine.
Isn’t she splendid! Photographed with the Fujifilm X-T4, F = 114mm, f/8 @ 1/125th sec on ISO400
Belfast is festooned with Graffiti – in the past some of it was very threatening, – some of it still is! But this wall of graffiti is on a bypass bridge, – a flyover on the A2.

This old brick gateway at Ballyhome, Coleraine has attracted me for years – I pass it quite often on the way to our family holiday home at Portrush, and I’ve always wanted to point a lens at it – but up until last week I never had opportunity, for one reason or another…
…Until ask week, when Janette and me were driving back from Bushmills, and I determined to stop and make a few images – in between the passing cars on the road down into Coleraine!
I don’t know who owns it or where the path leads, but it’s a striking entrance for whatever property!
