Black and white photography has been around for years but it continues to be popular. I love black and white pictures because the color doesn’t distract from the light, shape and texture of the subject.
19 July 2010 - 69 Patrick Street
Waterstones on Saint Patrick Street in Cork. Also Game, Euro City and a derelict store once rented by one of the national banks here in Ireland.
10 May 2010 - Engine No. 36
Engine No. 36 on display in Ken Station in Cork. Here’s what the Wikipedia page on the train station has to say about it:
An old locomotive is on permanent display in the concourse at Kent Station since 1950. “Engine No. 36″ dates from 1847 and is displayed in the booking hall. Originally built by Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy of Liverpool at a cost of £1,955, the engine was obtained by the Great Southern and Western Railway to run services from Dublin to Cork. The engine remained in service until 1874.
She was displayed at the Cork exhibition in 1902, the Railway Centenary Exhibition in 1925 and the bi-centenary of the Royal Dublin Society at Ballsbridge in 1930. She was moved to a new position and restored by Iarnród Éireann in 2007.
I could have sworn that train was on display before 2007, maybe that page is referring to the new interior of the station?
29 April 2010 - Time for the train
A clock suspended from the roof of Heuston Train Station, Dublin.
The odd thing about travel is that I’ve probably been in the US more times than I’ve been in Dublin, and certainly have been in London.

One of the supports on the Shaky Bridge outside Fitzgerald Park in Cork.
10 April 2010 - Self Portrait in Glass
A portrait of myself shot in the mirrored column near the playground in Fitzgerald Park, Cork.
26 March 2010 - River Nore, Kilkenny
The River Nore runs through the city of Kilkenny where we spent a weekend earlier this month at WordCamp Ireland. In the photo you can see the Rivercourt Hotel where I stayed with my family on the opposite bank the famous Kilkenny Castle.
Beautiful city, well worth a visit.
19 March 2010 - Patient Dog
Patient or not? A dog waits as his owner chats at the farmers market in Blarney on St. Patrick’s Day this year. More Photos.
15 March 2010 - 1964 Morris Minor
A Morris Minor, registered in 1964, parked in Bantry town in County Cork. Pictured in September 2008 while on holiday there.
After reading the Wikipedia page on the car this is probably a Minor 1000.
03 March 2010 - Unhappy in Dublin
Grim faced people walking along O’Connell Street in Dublin a month ago.
24 January 2010 - Abbeystrowry Cemetery
Abbeystrowry Cemetery is located near Skibereen in County Cork. It is the site of some of the mass graves used in the area during the famine around 1845.
I didn’t know, or had forgotten there was a famine in 1740/1741 when 400,000 people died. That many people died on this little island of ours in such a short time? The mind boggles.
