The Clock Tower in Youghal is an imposing building close up, especially as it’s so unusual in having a tunnel through it’s ground floor! We’re going to have a photowalk in Cork on Saturday, September 26th. It’s going to be sometime in the morning, before noon but that won’t really matter because hopefully most of [...]

The Clock Tower, Youghal
Filed in Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Street, UrbanThe Clock Tower in Youghal is a building you won’t miss if you travel through the town (and despite the great bypass around the area, we got caught in a huge traffic jam!)

Filed in Black and White, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, UrbanThe limestone steps and pillars at the front of the Court House in Cork make for an imposing building.

Big Wheel in the Showgrounds
Filed in Black and White, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, UrbanThe big wheel, as seen from The Atlantic Pond outside Pairc Ui Chaoimh in Cork. Sort of fitting that I post a photo of a fairground ride on the day that Michael Jackson is laid to rest. BTW – there are still places on the Cork photowalk on the 18th. It’s less than 2 weeks [...]
Clouds drift over the River Lee across from Blackrock Village about a week ago. I’m trying out the preview of Bibble 5 Pro at the moment. Great DAM features, although it is starting to slow down after importing about 90,000 images and it’s reading from an external USB 2.0 drive.
