Scart Road

Friday, April 4th, 2008 by Donncha

Scart , or Bothar na Scairte in , Co. .

When you leave the wide open area near the harbour in you come across really steep to the east. I happened to walk that way pushing a buggy so I had to stop and catch my breath here before heading on up.

is much bigger than I thought before and I should get some nice shots there the next time I’m down that way!

No. 20, Bantry

Friday, March 28th, 2008 by Donncha

I walked around Town a bit snapping the local streets and this house appealed to me. I think I saw it in b/w and the lovely texture of the walls.

It could also have been the hill and I wanted a small break from pushing the buggy around too of course.

Old farm building in ruins

Thursday, March 6th, 2008 by Donncha

Out in the wilds of Co , to the north of I found an old deserted farm. The house looked like it had been empty for some time and some of the out buildings were in worse repair.

Don’t forget the photowalk on Sunday!

This is visible from a few places in . I remember seeing it from near The South Infirmary and this is it seen from the multi storey carpark on the Grand Parade.

Is it up by Barracks ?

Girl on dad’s shoulders

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008 by Donncha

A small sits on (I presume) her dad’s shoulders on Patrick’s . In the background is the Savoy Shopping Center, and of course the building side behind Dunnes is clearly visible in the scaffolding supports to the far left.

Rooftop Surveillance

Monday, January 14th, 2008 by Donncha

The and roofs of the North Side, City.

This was taken from Carroll’s Quay carpark almost a month ago. I love the old-style quality of the image, even if the shadow of the dish at the bottom detracts from that a bit.

Check out Stabarinde’s Christmas in Cork shots. I’m glad my inspire you! There are a few gorgeous night shots in that set.

Slow down in 2008

Friday, January 4th, 2008 by Donncha

I’m going to slow down this year. I’ve been trying to keep up with everyone else, moving without thinking, on auto pilot sometimes.

I blog too fast. There! I’ve said it. I tried to post here, to Holy Shmoly!, to The Funny Video Blog every day but there’s only so much one man can do.

Instead, this blog will of course be updated every day, Holy Shmoly will be updated at most 3 times a week, and I’ll try to post one funny video a week.

Then I’ll have time to play with my son, watch him discover the world and enjoy the great times.

Ryan - thank you for the recommendation and a happy new year to you too!
