The Lagan originates at Slieve Croob in County Down and runs 53.5 miles to Belfast where it enters Belfast Lough.

On the move?
There’s talk that the Apple shop in Victoria Square may be moving to larger premises in 2024.
Its certainly always busy.
The Ulster Museum
Situated in the grounds of Botanic Gardens, the Ulster Museum has around 8000 square metres of display space.
Well worth a visit.
Covid and Conspiracies
These people are at the City Hall every Saturday when I pass. They’re worried about a lot of aspects of modern life and most people walk by with barely a glance.
Are they wrong about everything?
Sunny Saturday
Another Saturday in Belfast and the sun came out.
These photographs are of a Right to Food Rally at the City Hall on 23rd September. The rally was to mark Right to Food Week and joined campaigners in London and Liverpool.
The event was organised by Foodstock founder, SDLP Councillor, Paul Doherty.
Photography is about the light. Imagine these photographs on an overcast day, without the backlight and shadows. They simply wouldn’t have the same impact.
Saturday in Belfast
I often go to Belfast on Saturday. The walking keeps me fit and I get the opportunity to take photographs, mainly for licencing.
These images were taken with a Fuji X100. The original Fuji X 100 – 12 megapixels and a 23mm lens (equivalent to about 35mm full frame). They’re up to the MK V now.
I bought my Fuji in April 2012 – I checked. I knew I’d had it for a while but I didn’t expect it to have been 11 years.
Still going strong and I love using it.
Clouds and Crops
This photograph was taken not far from Quintin Castle on the Ards Peninsula. The golden field with the wind turbine in the distance attracted my attention.
The wind turbine is not sharp as there is heat haze rising from the field. The strange shaped cloud came from low on the left and disappeared quite quickly.
Rain is Coming
Yesterday morning it was warm and sunny and I went for a walk along the Marina. There’s what you could describe as a viewing area at the end giving a view across the lough with Eisenhower Pier in the foreground.
On this occasion as well as a view of the pier I got a view of rain rushing over the lough towards me.
I didn’t make it back to the car in time.
