Five to Twelve
Filed in Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, UrbanIt’s almost noon and I’m at the top of Patrick’s Hill taking photos of the Northside of Cork City. Pictured is St. Anne’s in the foreground, the County Hall in the background and lots in between! Didn’t have time to work on any shots from yesterday. Too much to do.

Anything but Guinness
Filed in Black and White, Canon 40D, Canon 50mm f1.8, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, UrbanSo, today is Arthur’s Day, a celebration of 250 years of Guinness. Well, sorry, but I don’t like Guinness and this is obviously a cheap marketing ploy by a large multi-national to drive sales of a declining beverage. Seems to have worked. Me? I may just open that bottle of Leffe. Yum.
