A man taking a break in Bishop Lucey Park, Cork. Coca Cola Ireland made headlines last week when it emerged they were going to outsource their distribution network. Unions weren’t happy of course.

Castle Street in Ruins
Filed in Architecture, Black and White, Canon 40D, Castle Street, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Street, Urban, VehiclesA building on Castle Street in Cork City collapsed yesterday crushing a parked car but thankfully not hurting anyone.

Relax in the Park
Filed in Black and White, Candid, Canon 40D, Canon 50mm f1.8, Cork, Ireland, People, Photography, Photos, Street, UrbanA man relaxes in Bishop Lucey Park while all around him people enjoy the festival that day. Taken during the photowalk last month. Amazing what cropping does to an image. The original was so busy and I struggled to find the image I wanted out of it but I like this.

Dominoes or Four Star Pizza?
Filed in Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Street, Urban, Washington StreetSo, who’s for pizza? I’m quite partial to Dominoes Pizzas but to be honest I haven’t had a pizza from either establishment in quite a while. Odd that both premises are on Washington Street and almost directly across from each other. Makes “shopping around” easier, not that you’d be bothered. Pizza is horribly priced wherever [...]

Laughter in the English Market
Filed in Black and White, Canon 40D, Cork, English Market, Ireland, People, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Street, UrbanIt’s not all doom and gloom for shopkeepers. These ladies were obviously having a great ol’ chat in this shop in the English Market last month. Another shot from the WW photowalk on July 18th. I seem to be getting a couple of good ones out of that day after all!
