While walking along the path in Drake’s Pool and enjoying the sunset we came across this plaque in the ground next to a bench.
“You are the wind upon my face.
You inspired me with your grace.
You are the wind upon my back.
You keep telling me do not look back.
As I walk among the trees.
I can feel your gentle breeze.
Your loving smile and tender care.
I cherish and take with me everywhere

3rd Dec 1950 - 30th Dec. 2002″
A huge link in a mostly submerged chain. If you looks carefully you’ll notice the trapped bottle of mineral water visible between the rusted metal!
This was shot only a few feet from the boats in the previous shot.
Boats tied up at the quay in Bantry two weeks ago. Bantry was once criss-crossed with waterways like Venice is today but those are long gone. The sea is still an important part of the culture of the town.
If you’re interested in the history of the region, here’s a page from westcork.com on the subject.

A sign in the foreground of the main square in Bantry, Co. Cork. We went to Ahakista eventually!
This is made from one exposure but I had this great looking sky and underexposed buildings and ground detail. To get an even exposure I split the photo using two layers and adjusted the exposure in each accordingly. I’m very happy with my work on this one!

A long exposure shot in the English Market in the vicinity of one of the many chicken meat shops.
The camera was set to f/8.0 and placed on top of a wall. In this semi-dark passage the exposure was 1/4 second blurring the passing people nicely but capturing the relatively motionless shop keepers.

Kay O’Connell’s is probably the biggest of the fishmongers in the English Market, Cork.

I expect there are three generations of one family here: grandmother, mother and child. A moment in time captured on Paul Street, Cork.

A girl on the phone in Dawnt Square Cork, dressed in the height of youth fashion: the obligatory tracksuit!

Mick Flannery played to a sold out audience in the Spiegeltent last night. He has an amazing voice, he’s a great song writer and the audience were up in arms crying and shouting for encores at the end of the gig.
The Lynch Mob joined Mick Flannery on stage to the delight of the audience.
